@linux40 I have struggled with carbs for so many years. The only way I've been able to deal with that is to not eat very many to begin with. Once I started doing much lower carbs (50 or so a day) then all cravings stopped almost instantly.

I am not familiar with either supplement mentioned. I supplement with a probiotic, potassium, magnesium, selenium, a multi, and 10K vitamin D. My energy is improved since I started taking action in early June when I changed my diet to low carb and even more when I switched to keto a couple of weeks ago. I have Hashi's too and am taking 25 mg Synthroid (generic) and 5 mcg Cytomel (generic). I just started the T3 so I do not know if it has had any effect.

I am doing the low-carb/keto based on food sensitivities, DNA analysis, and what has proven to work for me. It is not for everyone.

I have been giving carbs more consideration lately. One site I found dealing in generalisations considered many US, it was a US site, people eat more carbs in day than our ancestors would eat in a year, 10000 years ago before we started farming and tending animals. Food is more readily available for most of us in affluent society. Modern people are tending to store rather than use the excess.

The end point was, many people might do better with a carb intake of about 125 grams per day, very loosely 2 thirds of mfp's suggestion for myself. Not low carb but possibly constrained carbs.

Since you asked, I have started taking Truvision supplements. I take Trufix and TruEnergy Weightloss. I have been on them about a month now. I take it for the energy and I also take the Trufix which is supposed to help heal the body. If I get that added fix of healed body that is great. I gave up sodas last year and needed a little kick without all the side effects. The Truenergy has not give me jitters or headaches. It is supposed to help with sugar/salt cravings, so far i don't have the sugar cravings but salt is still there. I am making changes with my food choices by reading Trim Healthy Mama and incoorperating some of the eating styles. The book gave me answers/help with trying to eat better and still eat foods I like. I am in no way pushing that life style on you or anyone. I do not sell any products. I am a reader of all information. I try some things that sounds good and discard things that are far fetched. I think we have to make choices based on what we think not what someone else thinks. Some things work for some and not for others. I think it is all what you are motivated to try. I am sick of "diet plans" that push the wrong things at us. I enjoy eating food but like my shrimp allergy, i just can't eat everything I would like. So having said all that, lol, Good luck with all you try. If we do not try, we fail.

Starting tomorrow I'm taking Selenium, Vitamin E, Zinc, Copper, Vitamin D and Calcium Citrate. I'm hoping that the combo of these will reduce my dependency on Synthroid and Liothyronine (hoping to drop the Liothyronine altogether). I currently take Vitamin D and Vitamin C.
As for carbs, I say do what works for you. I have dropped all grains numerous times and I feel amazing when I do that (and the weight literally falls off). The second I pick them back up all weight comes back on and I start to feel horrible. So, while I know that going grain-free or pretty close to it is probably what is best for me, I find it nearly impossible to do so because I've eaten them my whole life.

I started taking a thyroid support supplement from 1Body about a week ago. It has a lot of the above mentioned herbs and minerals. I am finding myself feeling more alert now.

A new report just came out (read it yesterday online) that said that the garcinia cambogia supplement had little to no effect on weight loss.
