Default Re: Ready to give up! (vent warning)

You should have lost more weight than you did.

You say you have started on thyroid meds... it may be that you haven't gotten to your optimum dosage yet... It took me about 6 months to finally have my blood tests show that my thyroid was in the 'normal' range after upping the dosage three times.

All though you may quit the diet, you should at least try to figure out why it didn't work because that might help you with whatever other diet you decide to do...

I understand your frustration... I hate veggies and the only one I have is lettuce... I hate water and thus drink soda and crystal light, I don't like cooking so I have junk like hamburgers and hot dogs and bologna... I have to take 17 pills a day and I can't swallow pills so I take them with honey which is 7 carbs right there... there are all sorts of reasons why this diet shouldn't work for me, but now that my thyroid is where it should be, and my blood sugar is stable, the diet makes me feel great, and that's the main reason I'm on it, losing a pound every couple of weeks is just a bonus...

Good luck in whatever you decide to do
