I have hypothyroidism n im on 125mg of thyroxin ....my levels r normal n im doing alot of exercise for the past 3months n have lost v little weight till now so wanted to try GM diet. My doctor has Said to completly avoid cabbage cz of this problem so what will be the replacement for cabbage in the wonder soup?

Did your doctor tell you to avoid wheat, dairy and sugar. If you have thyroid issues nothing is worse for you than gluten. If you are eating wheat you are killing your thyroid more and more every time. However goitrogens in veg like cabbage should be avoided as much as possible as well. Just add another veg if you like, no peas, no corn.

Cooking cabbage does help reduce the goitrogens.

No you cannot do that type of exercise. Please read the exercise page at the bottom of the site. You cannot tear down muscle with no protein to rebuild until day 5.

I have not been eating roti or rice for the past 1month. Instead of roti i take dosa made with 3kinds of daal. My doctor did not tell me anything about wheat. Thanks for the info.

I deal with a minor thyroid issue that's healing, I tested all grains, etc. You can see the results here. http://thyroidboards.com/index.html...-array-4-–-gluten-associated-cross-reacti-r22

you can have wonder soup everyday you need extra food. keep rolling, all hopefully will be ok in the end.
when do you weigh yourself?

 

[Lota344]

I weigh in the morning usually before breakfast. Day1 went well....had alot of craving for salt which wz solven by the wonder soup. Really hopeful for tomorrow...will even weigh myself first in the morning!
