from a site i found just googling stuff
[i]"Honestly, just looking at your list of supplements exhausts me. I?ve tried the supplement route in my recovery from adrenal exhaustion and low thyroid but it didn?t do a whole lot for me. I mean, yeah, it helps, and supplements are good, but they don?t take the place of food. Food comes first.
It sounds like you are eating pretty low carb. Would you say that is true? I don?t know that for a fact since I don?t have a food journal for you, but most of the things you listed are either meat or veggies or broth or nuts.
I?m not all the way recovered yet but I?ve come a long, long way. I have a ton more energy now and I actually enjoy going for walks and doing my kettlebell workouts.
Let me tell you what is working for me. In a word, CARBS!
In three words (quoting Matt Stone), EAT THE FOOD!
I also massively increased my carbs. Matt Stone of 180 Degree Health says that low-carb and restrictive dieting causes low thyroid function and low metabolism. He also says that it causes infertility.
Here are the results I?m noticing:
First, as I mentioned, I?m not gaining weight. Like I said, maybe a little bit but I?m still wearing the same size jeans.
Secondly my body temperature has come WAY up. I used to be in the low 97s and now I?m averaging around 98.2. This is AWESOME! My body temperature has not been this high in years. My body temperature is also starting to stabilize. A few months ago it was up and down every day, wildly fluctuating. Now, it ranges between 97.9 and 98.6."
