Good Afternoon, My name is Angela and I've struggled with my weight all my life, but was always complemented that I wore my weight very well. However, in 2006 I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and given RAI treatment (Radioactive Iodine Treatment) to reverse my hyper thyroid to Hypothyroidism, si...

Actually, truth be told, my phrasing was more an indication of laziness to avoid looking up the original thread that discussed expectations and probable outcomes. Interesting, from a quick search, that fasting isn't necessarily contra-indicated for thyroid issues. It is possible, with a bit of exper...

@ADFnFuel ADFnFuel wrote that the 'site-wide wisdom' as he so eloquently phrased it, is that you lose approx 0.5 kg a week with 5/2. This is correct if you restrict your calories to 500/600 twice a week and calculate the calorie deficit. However, I have a thyroid problem (thyroid stopped working alt...

Thanks ADFnFuel, As you said, this way of life has many advantages all of which came back to me from the first time I started fasting. Which I stupidly gave up, because I stopped losing weight which was due to a failing thyroid. This was diagnosed last November and I take medication for that, which ...

Taking stock after seven weeks 5/2-ing: zeven kilos lost and my BMI decreased by 2 whole points, so I am chuffed to bits at the moment. This is very motivating for me and it shows that it can be done, I hope it will inspire you as well. I still have at least some ten kilos more to go, and I am under...

Dear fellow-fasters, Yes! This morning the scales, a fickle friend at the best of times, told me I lost another kilo. I'm ever so chuffed. In spite of a thyroid that stopped working and a dosage of synthetic thyroid hormone that still needs adjusting 5/2 did the trick for me. Very grateful to Doctor...

Hi Stowgate, It is 7.15 pm here (Netherlands) and so far my fast day is going well, I hope yours is too. I am highly motivated, because recently I gained 4 kg in 10 days time, due to hypothyroidism (is that the correct word? I mean: thyroid gland working too slowly). And these kgs have disappeared t...

Hi Nursebean, Thanks, my fast went quite well, I managed to stick to 640 kcals. And I seem to have splendid results so far - since I started fasting I lost 4 kg! I know it's mainly water at the beginning, but still I am very pleased with this result. Due to my non-functioning thyroid I gained weight...

Dear Fellow Fasters, In 2013 I followed this diet or way of life or whatever you want to call it. Had some good results and liked that way of eating. Lost weight as well until - in hindsight - my thyroid was slowly grinding to a halt. Currently I am in the process of getting my dosage of thyrax (art...

Hi Itssunnytoday and welcome! I don't know your age, and that could be a factor. I'm 50 and perimenopausal and it seems the least little thing disrupts my cycle. I had even gone six months without a period when the election of last year upset me so much that my period suddenly restarted. If you are ...

My plan is to see how I tolerate levothyroxin, and if I continue to tolerate it well, I'll stay on it. If I find myself not doing well on it, I plan to switch to the Armour Thyroid. But so far, knock wood, I feel great on the levothyroxin. It's been about 8 months and I have great energy and feel re...

Hi, thanks for sharing. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do. However your story really encourages me! I am curious have you ever checked out armour thyroid? The switch for me was amazing. It took a short time for my doctor to get the dosing correct. But I feel so much better on it. It ...

Hi Sandiec and welcome to the forums! I have graves disease and had my thyroid irradiated. As a result I am now hypothyroid. I take 75 levothyroxin daily. Good news, my endocrinologist is a HUGE fan of fasting!! I told him I do eating windows (only eating between noon and 8pm) and occasional fast da...

Hi, My name is Sandie, I am 54. I have been following visual impact cardio and have lost 30lb. I have decided to add IF. I would like to lose another 50lb. However I have read conflicting reports for hypothyroid patients. I take armor thyroid and it is so much better than a synthetic. I have complet...

My new endocrinologist is a big fan of intermittent fasting and eating windows and is thrilled that I use these methods - he also recommended the dietdoctor.com site that strongly encourages intermittent fasting and eating windows. My former endocrinologist admitted he didn't know much about it but ...
