Ok, so here's my deal. Today I started a 30 day Paleo overhaul. I am working with a Body Tech Nutritionist who supports treating hypothyroidism with diet (yay). I am still on my levothyroxin, but I am now using Crossfit, heavy lifting, and diet to boost my metabolism and give my thyroid a "break." At least that is the picture I see in my head. I prepared for this change by getting in my gallon of water/day and reducing my simple carbs. Right now I am on a high protein and fat diet with very little carbs (those in some veggies and what little is in eggs!?). I am on no dairy with the exception of 2 ounces of full fat cheese/day.

I would love some support and friends who share this life style. I have already replaced 3 pounds of fat with muscle and I feel amazing! I can't wait to get deeper into this life style. Anyone in a similar boat??

Height: 5'2''
Weight: 195
Goal: awesomeness!

    I try to maintain a paleo lifestyle. Feel free to add me as a friend. I don't eat dairy, minus using a whey isolate when I don't meet my protein levels with natural sources. I eat 40% protein, 40% fat, and 20% carbs. I have a long list of paleo/primal recipes that I love sharing. :)

    My stats are:

    Height: 5'8
    Weight: 176lbs
    Fitness: Crossfit and run
    Goal Weight: 145lbs
