Hypothyroid and LC
Perhaps I shouldn't have started reading online about medical challenges for people with hypothyroid and Hashimotos on low carb diets. They all were pro LC sites, but strong about concerns for those with thyroid issues. Anyone else on here hypothyroid or Hashimotos, please share or add me. I would be interested to hear how…
