[QUOTE="forty six, post: 617553, member: 72202"] I have had my thyroid checked (took years to get that done) and have been on medication since January. Although I have not tried strict LCHF I have cut my carbs in half and increased my protein and fibre intake. I go through phases with this, sometimes it makes me so depressed I just don't want to face anyone and then on other days I think so what we've all got to die some day so just get on with it. As I have already said, I have stayed the same weight for a couple of years now and my main concern is keeping my BS at a reasonable level. if I lose weight in the process so be it but I am not going to make myself even more depressed trying and failing again and again. Two of my friends have had gastric surgery, one on the NHS and one at a private clinic and I still believe that they are not the way forward, instead I would welcome proper research into peoples genetics and possible conditions like metabolic syndrome as this may show the way forward on an individual basis. New research in the US suggests that obesity is not the cause of metabolic syndrome but the it is the other way around. This may mean that other outside influences could be causing the persons condition. I want to be well and healthy not necessarily slim. It is not the same thing to me. I know that my previous post made it look like I don't want help or suggestions, I do, but it can be so frustrating when I have heard so much of it before and tried it without success. [/QUOTE]
