Stac3y said:I am the opposite end of the spectrum. I am hypoglycemic and always hungry. My stomach is growling within an hour after eating a well balanced dinner.
Stac3y said:My usual dinner is sauteed vegetable (broccoli, snow pea pods, onions, zucchini) with eggs or tofu. I use coconut oil to saute. 85% of the time, I need to eat within 2 hours. I suspect that I have increased coritsol levels at night, which also effects sleep. My breakfast and lunch is an organic salad with chicken breast and a fruit. I have done very well in terms of suppressing my hunger with these two salads a day. I keep low sugar protein bars as snacks, and will eat at least one per day. If I am really hungry, I have a piece of cheese (Swiss or Cheddar). My issue has always been feeling constant hunger, which is why I turned to Atkins, as it has kept me more satiated in the past.

I am estrogen dominant, but the effects of wild yam diosgenin clearly have a more progesterogenic effectiveness in my system, probably because I keep my gut flora healthy with probiotics and organic apple cider vinegar. Many of the most nourishing herbs an herbalist would recommend for health are estrogenic (nettles, red clover, raspberry leaves, oat straw...), as are many sprouts one would eat to stay healthy. I've also removed melatonin, as that inhibits thyroid function.
My Thyroid-S should be coming in today, and I would like to have that in my system for at least 2 weeks before I start a low fat version of Peat. I have the "test no-show" thyroid problems, and within a month of taking Thyro-Gold, my throat is no longer perpetually sore, and I am not as cold as usual. I suspect that the most important thing right now is getting my thyroid up and running before I shock my body with low fat high sugar.
I doubt it's for the "amazing" taste of tofu or broccoli.

Actually, I really do love the taste and texture of tofu and broccoli--I am that much of a weirdo. I know I have to cut out all soy without question (I've always known that was a problem for thyroid issues), but broccoli several times a week may have to be one of my vices. I actually crave sauteed vegetables with oil.

If I were eating this, I would also be very hungry. Stressfully hungry.
haidut said:Also, Broccoli strongly suppresses the thyroid, and aside from its decent magnesium content is really just bulk with no nutrition in it. May I ask why are you eating these foods? I doubt it's for the "amazing" taste of tofu or broccoli.
Not sure if this question is aimed at me or Haidut. I don't claim my diet to be either ideal or that it best incorporates all Peat's ideas, but I've not spent much time really hungry the last year, and I've been often sleeping through the night. This is common but I do vary it a bit.Stac3y said:Can you give me an example of a day of meals for you? I do not know that I can eat as much shell fish as the diet requires, and I loath liver, so I know that I will have to have lean chicken as my primary meat. I actually like the salads (large salads with olive oil and vinegar), and they are incredibly convenient. The fruit is a recent addition as a small part of preparation for transferring to Peat next month.
