You gopt that right, foto!

i was on the verge of type 2 D... and went on the Atkins diet to get my hypothyriod weight gain under control, and found that the chol levels went down by 100 points, my blood sugar levels plumetted, hdl went up, ldl went down, and triglycerides also dropped to normal levels...

Who woulda thunk it? I was doing the vegetarain thingie before to try to get a handle on my thyroid problem. But, it just didn't work. i bought the philsophy, but my dumb body just didn't get with the program, you know?

Now, I eat meat, eggs, healthy fats, nutsand good cheese, grow my own above grown veggies for salad, etc... can't wait till the brandywines ripen!!!

Feel better than ever, and enjoy low carb white wine, but should be more moderate at that than I am... Have lost 80 lbs. gained on vegetarian diet, but can't really blame that, prolly was the failing thyroid... anyway, the veggie diet made it worse, not better.

Atkins approach was the only way to stop the spiral.

Thanks, Dr. Atkins. Rest in peace...

Do you take Synthroid? Xena's Mom does (thanks to having her head X-rayed in the late '50s for an acne treatment, of all things, which killed her thyroid gland), and when she tried to quit taking it several years back, she couldn't get out of bed. She felt just fine, except for having zero energy. Weird.
