Good morning Ladies and Gentleman's,
I'm new to this forum but not new to 5:2. I'm happy to find you all here and read your posts.
Little bit about me. I'm 46, premenopausal and 5.10. I have autoimmune disease (Graves/Hashimoto) and no thyroid.
Last year I was 139 pounds and in one year I went to 157 "thanks" to hormonal changes and my metabolism slowing down. I was also eating Autoimune paleo to help with my autoimmunity but pounds were still pilling up. I decided to visit nutritionist to see if they can help and they did. He switched me from eating 3 square mils to eating 5 times a day and it helped with my metabolism. I also have study energy throughout the day and I like that feeling. To speed things up I started 5:2 6 weeks ago and also started carb cycling. I was loosing 2 pounds a week thanks to all the changes I have done. I was always athletic and love to exercise but would love to loose little bit more fat so continuing with 5:2 and carb cycling.
Looking forward meeting you all.

I'm still producing enough T-4 to be within the normal range.
