i see what you are all saying my only issue is my job it very active indeed i have not been to work now for a few months i work for my self, there is no way on this earth i could do it with a low carb diet i could see this working great if you had say a office job, lets see if the docs will order the tests and see what happends. i did once have my thyroid level done last year if i remember it was on the very limit of the high side the doc said it was with in the range but like i said i was on the very limit of the high side i wonder if that has any bearing on whats going on the doc say due to in being in range that there wasnt a issue they looked at that due to me being so cold most of the time
There are long distance endurance athletes who win races on very low carb diets (known as ketogenic diets, if you want to look it up).
There is usually a weird transition period when people switch to low carb, as their body switches to using fat as fuel instead of carbs.
But if you are off work at the moment, you could easily try low carbing without it affecting your job. And by the time you are back at work, you will feel jet propelled (I have FAR more stamina and energy on low carb than I ever did swinging to and fro on carbs and RH)
Besides, if you feel as bad as you say you do, isn't it worth trying, to escape the misery of your current situation?
