[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 984321, member: 85785"] Yes, that's what I am saying! The carbs turn into glucose quicker than any other type of food including sugar, which is also the same thing, because it turns to glucose into your blood. The liver and pancreas produce insulin among other hormones to turn the glucose without the science bit into energy. The unused insulin turns into visceral fat. So the more carbs and sugars you have the more insulin you have. If you low carb, you use the excess insulin and the amount of glucose you need to give you energy. So the lower the carb intake the lower the amount of insulin and glucose. Insulin resistance is another way of saying your body's had enough and can't cope with certain types of Foods and drinks. Your thyroid problems are akin to your blood glucose levels. And it will be of benefit to low carb, there have been quite a few who have done well on this lifestyle. What I would suggest is, to try and not eat carbs for a few days, just protein and above ground veg and record your fasting pre meal and one hour and two after eating. Just to see what is happening! You did say that you go low if you don't eat for a while after carb heavy meal. Then don't leave it too long between eating, eat little and often, low carb! If you haven't read my links below. And you could be T2 and RH, along with your thyroid problems. [/QUOTE]
