I have Hashimoto's. I take 90mg of Armour but it has fluctuated. I have to get my level's checked every two months because my TSH is still too high. Once I got on Armour though, I noticed increased energy. The only thing I don't like about is it is not vegetarian.

So even if you are at a calorie deficit, if you drink alcohol it will take precedence over your fat because it is a toxin. My dietitian told me that even one drink per week can reduce weight…

Chobani Greek yogurts are delicious. If you are looking for a lower sugar content yogurt that is still delicious I mix 3/4 cup Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt with 1.5 tsp of sugar and a generous dash of cinnamon. Instead of cinnamon sometimes I mix in blueberries or strawberries. I eat this a lot because it tastes delicious.

Drinking water during and after eating will dilute stomach's acidity and may cause indigestion. Your body might not be able to absorb as many nutrients as well.

In a given day you can fluctuate as much as +/- 5 pounds depending on water and food intake. Best to only weigh yourself once a week at the same time in the day.

I completely stayed away from refined carbs such as sugar and white wheat and…
