Hi CB,
I am on Armout thyroid, I take 6 grains per day. I think I should check my
basal temperature again to see if I am still a bit low. I'll do that this
weekend.
I do eat as much fat and carbs as I can, both of them make me a bit warmer
and fuller. I'll try eating more fat and less carbs, but I know for certain
that I will end up feeling nauseous every time I take a bite after a week or
two.
Thanks for your help,
Katrina.
