KELISKA READ THE ABOVE THREAD.. I have read all of her books.. i am NOT A PROPONENT OF her diet -- calories toooo low.. but a lot of good information concerning the thyroid.. I have had hypo for 22 years i average 1600 a day.. now getting ready for my show-- i average 1450. I find extremely low cal intake actually slows up my metabolism.. but i guess we all have to find that zone -- so to speak

I am doagnosed hypo, and am on Synthroid, have been for about 9 months. It has made ZERO difference in my weight. My weight did not change at all before and after synthroid.

BUT, it has stabilized my bloodwork and reduced my anxiety and insomnia. The thyroid can control a lot more than just weight.
