Low Heart Rate with hypothyroidism. freak out?
Hi everyone! I found out that after a year of taking levothyroxine, exercising daily and dieting, my resting heart rate has slowed down quite a bit. I think I was 58-60bpm at rest not too long ago, now I barely get to 45bpm (it could be even lower than that, since I'm fully awake when I check my HR). My heart rate while…

How to measure salt intake- i only eat homemade
Hi! How do you measure your salt intake when you only eat clean homemade food, almost nothing processed? When you eat processed food it's quite easy, you enter the values in MFP and it gives you your daily salt intake. But what happens to homemade recipes made from scratch? I am wanting to stop drinking some processed…

Strength training for someone who is at target weight
Hi everyone! I just ended my weightloss journey and I'll have to work hard to keep my calorie intake correct and maintain my current weight.

Cauliflower and broccoli? Cooked? Or ditch it?
Hi you all! I know soy products and broccoli are bad for thyroid function. But I didn't know that we have to avoid cauliflower as well. Do we have to ditch them all? Or is it possible to eat them cooked without any future consequences? I'm struggling to find cooked veggies that I like at this cold time of the year, and I…

Resistance bands for strength training?
Hi again! A friend of mine and I were having a chat at the gym the other day, and she was saying it's impossible for someone to build muscle by using resistance bands or by executing exercises that involve lifting the body weight. I'm wondering if this is true, have in mind I'm talking about a person who can't lift…

should I log this? strength training calories/ HR
hi!!! I wonder if I should log the calories/bpm my HRM detects when I'm strength training. I usually have it on, but we know it's hard for a basic HRM to detect the heartbeat when you're doing triceps for example, or have the hands behind the body in any way. Do you log those calories? I've been logging them lately, but I…

When you accidentally exercise too much... What to eat?
So, i left the car at home today, and my public transportation pass decided it was the best day to get its data erased. So i ended up walking all day for every errand I had to do. i have to say that I live in a very small city, and I've always LOVED walking. I can walk miles without noticing any pain or strain on my legs…

Hi! I started my journey on june last year. I was losing 10 pounds per month (partly due to thyroid medication) steadily until late january. That's when my progress stalled for a couple of months, and since then my weightloss chart looks like a rollercoaster (try not to look at my MFP since i got away from it for a few…

About oatmeal
Hi everyone! I would like to know if homemade oatmeal could make me fat. I'm from Spain and I buy a brand of soft oats (not sure what "soft oats" truly mean) called Brüggen. They're not flavored and they're not instant according to the label. I've never made instant oatmeal so i don't know how fast that one gets cooked…
