Carbs are ok, just keep them low GI, whats that? they don't elevated insulin levels, like brown rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal. Use bread only if it says 100% whole wheat or multi-grain but use that sparingly.
Keep a log at first to train you on how much you should be eating, like www.fitday.com shoot for 1300-1400 calories a day, I think, you may wnat to check this and my spelling too! |
Thanks for the input. I had a complete physical back in late August. I have not had my hormone levels specifically checked and at the moment I am unemployed trying to start my own business and have no insurance. Bummer! I do have problems with my thyroid, have taken meds for it for the past 5 years. My cholesterol is good, have never had a problem there. I have just gotten advice from a member on another board regarding my thyroid. He is working in a hospital and is 1/2 way to MD. He suggested that I get T3 and stop my current thyroid meds and just use the T3 full time. I think I might give it a try. I also heard about the
www.fitday.com site and started using it yesterday. I'll make a note of your suggestions regarding the calories and the carb and impliment that in as well. Thanks again! All input is so greatly appreciated!
