Everyday Systems

Hi,
I'm new to this bulletin board and am still reading the book but I have a basic idea to the plan. My question is this.....I take thyroid medication for a underactive thyroid as well as hormone replacement therapy. Has anyone else tried this plan successfully despite health issues that create a slower metabolism? If so, tell me how you're doing and what kind of meals are you eating on your non-S days. Good luck to all!

I wish I could answer your question but, I haven't been NoSing long enough to give you a definative answer. I do have PCOS and my doctors feel I am Insulin Restistant or on the edge of being IR. So, I hear you when it comes to slow metabolism.

Hang in there,

Hey there -

I have hypothryoidism (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) and PCOS with IR so I have a double whammy ..

I am losing but more importantly to me is my mind is changing, my cravings are abating and I *feel* better.

I'm going through a lot of stress right now and I still want to eat but not the urge isn't strong enough to actually get me to do it.

I'm still learning and growing through this process but if you do some basic math you'll realize that follow NoS, even eating large portions initially, you'll still be taking in a significantly less amount of calories on a daily basis which adds up -- quickly!

I have Hypothyrodism and early Type II Diabetes and I have found that if I follow No S 100% - No Sweets, No Snacks, No Seconds, Except (sometimes) on S Days - I loose weight, slowly but it comes off and stays off.

Good Luck and stick with Basic No S and don't try to complicate it and you will see results - slowly but that is better than gaining.
