I asked duchaine this question and he told me to eat maintainance level cals for a full two weeks to bring the thyroid back up. he said you can diet effectivly for about 5 weeks, then take a 2 week break eating maintainance level cals then back to diet again. this will ensure you dont have weight loss stoppage. You could try the 2 day thing, but the way i see it.. if it takes up to 4 weeks to lower it its not gonna come back in 2 days. if you try it, let us know what happens! peace||63.11.71.245||reg||
