Hello...new to it all.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Please let me introduce myself as I have just joined this list. I am looking

forward to picking up info and ideas from the posts. I have been to onelist

and seen that this is a very active list.....I DO like that. I have a

problem with list that have no umph! I am new to the Carbohydrate relations

to diet and health.

I have HYPOTHYROIDISM and upon my last visit to my doctor was even more

frustrated with the response from him in regards to my health and my health

problems. Suprisingly I happen to tune in to OPRAH as she had a show

regarding Carbohydrates and how they effect us, etc. THe light bulb went on

immediately.

Also upon my latest search on the web in regards to my hypothyroidism, up

popped a page that described how one could be having certain problems if the

diet contained too many carbos.....WOW!!! this was just for me. THis all

has taken place in the last 2 weeks...well my interest in Carbos that is. I

have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for the past 4yrs without any

specialist help...which has been a bad thing.

I have learned in " my " latest research that the Carbos could very well be

what is causing me to feel so extremely bad and gain weight even when I am

not eating very many calories. I thought I was doing everything right, when

actually I have been only hurting myself with the CARBO death trap.

Therefore, in my search tonight at ONelist, I found this list. NOW, I am

very anxious to see what everyone here has to share. I am finally seeing

things that make sense to all my problems and now I feel like I can help

myself where the doctors have only failed me.......MY DOCTOR only wanted to

prescribe anti despressants and diuretic " Lasix " .....I don't think so. Now

I am up to see a specialist but in the mean time I would like to find ways to

do away with the majority of carbos in my diet forever.

Look forward to all the posts to come.
