Anyone here on Synthroid?

You didn't say you were on metformin. That is the problem. If you are on metformin, you need to do the low carb diet under a doctor's supervision. Probably your doctor will need to lower you medication. If you don't ingest any carbs, then the metformin will make your blood sugar fall too low since your dosage was prescribed assuming you would be consuming a certain amount of carbs, which may explain why you were feeling bad.

PLEASE, ONLY DO THIS UNDER A DOCTOR'S SUPERVISION. You might want to read the book Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution, and then discuss this dietary appproach with your doctor if it appeals to you. Also, what I do won't work so well on metformin, since it will inhibit gluconeogenesis.

Thanks! I will definitely talk to my doctor about it before I try anything.
