I have hypothyroid hashimotos and I MAY be insulin resistant ( I crave sugar throughout the day and i feel very tired and terrible when I don't get it but instantly better when I do) Well, I cut back on my sugar almost completely, besides having fruit like once a week and my protein shake contains one gram of sugar, which i drink almost every day. Is this ok, or do I need to cut out sugar COMPLETELY?

    Everybody's different, so it will take trial & error to find what works for you.

    I have Hashimoto's but no blood sugar problems. I use MFP's protein & fiber goals as minimums, and ignore fat & carbs (including sugar). My endocrinologist said I don't need to avoid any foods, nor eat anything special. What did your doctor(s) tell you about sugar?
