I went to an endocronologist last year because I have hypothyroidism and have been taking synthroid since 1980. I have to literally eat nothing so I don't get like a house. Well, last year I wanted to lose 30 pounds because my back started giving me trouble. The doctor puts me on this diet which consisted of 1 egg in the morning any style, no bread...then lunch and dinner was combined with just a salad with either chicken or turkey in it..lettuce, cucumbers, red onion, raw vegetables..all the water I wanted....NO juices or ANYTHING with sugar in it. Okay, sure I lost 5 pounds a week but getting extremely dizzy! I go back to the dr. and he said well..you would have lost even more if you did not have hypothroidism.....I got angry and said, "you a dr. are supposed to be helping me. I am getting weak and dizzy from this crazy diet you put me on. I could not even have a piece of fruit cause fruit has sugar in it...I am NOT diabetic and don't know why I could not have fruit? I stopped going to him...this is craziness!
