green tea and hypothyroidism
Hello! I've been on levothyroxine 0.137 mg for years. I've recently heard that green tea is bad for people taking thyroid meds. Has anyone else heard this? I love green tea and will be sad to miss it. But it might explain why my weight loss is negligible. P.S. I tested two weeks ago and my hormone levels are good.

Volleyball girl Olympians "big"
They are inspiring! I was so loving the game tonight. The announcer said one of the women was 6'1". And 165 lbs. They looked incredible to me. My husband, who is very slim, said "isn't that really big (meaning fat)". I said look at them, they are pure muscle. He just shrugged. This is personal for me because I'm 5'10 and…

Anyone doing low carb?
Hi. Is anyone doing low carb while they run? I eat mainly vegetables, nuts, and protein. Feel free to check out my diary. I don't eat carbs, grains etc., which have a net carb over 5. Any suggestions would be appreciated. P.s. I have hasimotos and hypothyroidism, so soy and carbs don't help me.
