Have you been tested for Hpothyroidism?
by: Anonymous

Hypothyroidism can easily cause weight gain: even if you're dieting, excersizing, or breastfeeding. It also can cause low progesterone levels, irregular menses, and miscarriage(the baby completely relies o mom's thyroid for the entire 1st trimester and partially through the rest of development in utero). Also, it can cause coarse, brittle, hair and nails. It is also famous for hyperinsulinanemia(too much insulin released in proportion to the amount of glucose released from the foods you eat). I have suffered symptoms of Hypothyroidism for as long as I can remember, but was not diagnosed until my late twenties. Now on dessicated thyroid and eating low glycemic most of the time, I'm finally losing the weight! I also went on to have 2 more children after not conceiving for 6 and a half years! Get to a doctor and get tested. Don't accept the "you're in the normal range" answer, a TSH above 3 is Hypo! I hope this is helpful. God bless you, and happy Low GI eating!
