Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Tammi, Do you mind telling us what stage you where in when you started HC? And how long were you on it before you got to 22.5?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Well she has had great success with a good majority of her patients. The basic premise is not what you eat, but how you eat it- linking and balancing carbs with protein to prevent the insulin spikes, which prevents the food from being stored as fat. This simple action is supposed to HELP OPTIMIZE your metabolism. It's really not a diet, but a different way of eating. I'm going to give it a try (along with Metformin or Byetta) and see how it works for me, since I've had no luck with anything else. I'm pretty sure that my thyroid meds are optimized now and have felt that there was something else causing me to not lose weight, and I think the severe IR is what is causing this for me.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Blanacing carbs and protein is a wonderful idea but I hope she includes good fats as they also are key to helping you metab9lize carbs properly. I think increasing my fats with everything I eat has been the biggest help I have done for my diet. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Yes, she does talk about that as well as a number of other things in her books. I was just stating what the basic premise of the book is. I'm eager to see what this new protocol will do for me and will report back. I really think that this has been the missing piece of the puzzle for me. Thanks again Val for all that you do!
