Interesting that you mention hypothyroidism. I have thyroid issues too. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 9years ago and struggled for years with it being treated inadequately (at the time I believed the dr who told me all was well and my symptoms were in my head). When I finally switched Dr's it was found that I had thyroid cancer. I was treated for it which involved having my thyroid removed so I'll always be on thyroid meds.

I feels tons better. For me the weight gain was in large part due to how sick I was with my thyroid issues. Once I was feeling like a human being again it was time to get busy undoing the mess I had become.

I turn 40 on Tuesday and I'm determined my 40s are gonna rock.

If you find that sort of eating works well for you, too, you might check out http://www.marksdailyapple.com Lots of good, free info there.

I'm thinking I might pick up Paleo for Athletes this weekend. Really interested to read it.
