I think it's...I'm so glad this was helpful! I think it's really important to make the program work for you. I found the "official" facebook groups to be really discouraging, and I know there are even more of the special ingredients now than there were when I wrote this. I would say to keep it as simple as you can--separate your fats and your carbs, and space out your meals/snacks by about 3 hours. If you want to incorporate the rest, fine, but you can absolutely lose weight by just doing those things. <br /><br />Full disclosure, I've gained back about 10 pounds since I wrote this--I began following the AIP diet for my thyroid, and as I eased off of that, I went Paleo. I'm just now beginning to incorporate THM principles again, but I feel way better than I did even at my smallest, and I think how you feel is more important than the number on the scale.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461142634929195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562259030561813455.post-76562855881813676472019-07-22T18:34:24.867-05:002019-07-22T18:34:24.867-05:00Oh my, almost 4 year old post and it hits the nail...Oh my, almost 4 year old post and it hits the nail right on the head for me!<br />I cannot wrap my head around some of the thm stiff, I am trying SO hard but at almost every meal I have to ask thm on fb about what I’m choosing. It actually gives me anxiety because I want to do it right but feel like I think WAY too much about food. I am so not into the collagen and the sweetener they suggest or much of any of the things they push to buy. Though I have discovered cauliflower and radishes to replace mashed and fried potatoes and they are yummy!! I never liked these things before. I need to do this my way but am so afraid my way will not work. How encouraging to read your post!!

And I thought you might be interested in trying him out. You can read the Notes section on his Facebook page, or the Testimonials on his website, to tell you what a thinker he is and how he works with each person for their individual situations. I am just a huge, huge fan, because of my great improvement. His name is Dr. Garrett Smith and his website is nutritionrestored dot com. He does the best hair testing (HTMA, you may hve seen that on the Internet) of anyone else. My heart goes out to you for your suffering with Hashi's, and I am only recommending him out of a heart that is grateful to God for somehow connecting me there. <br /><br />Best to you!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562259030561813455.post-59926684626955876132018-02-09T12:19:29.236-06:002018-02-09T12:19:29.236-06:00Thank you for sharing so transparently, Becky. I ...Thank you for sharing so transparently, Becky. I know first hand the frustration of limitations stemming from auto-immune disease and having to refrain from so much (to prevent flaring) that so many other people take for granted. I'm in the middle of such a season of my own right now, have made substantial changes in the things I have control over that contribute to health, yet my own particular beast refuses to back down, and the battle against it (and against self pity) is deeply wearying. I continually need to remind myself of all the gifts of beauty and grace that are present in my life, and to trust that my loving Father will give me what I need day by day, hour by hour for each step of the journey.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562259030561813455.post-17523365197790373712017-09-09T11:13:58.605-05:002017-09-09T11:13:58.605-05:00I hope you can find it in your area, Angela!

That said, I haven't watched more episodes, so who knows if I'll return to it or not. If I only have to invest in ten (or so) episodes (because of a cancellation), I tend to watch the show, but if it's going to turn into a multi-season I think about it more because, yeah, I'm addicted to a few too many as it is. ;)Rissihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378400717440822186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2562259030561813455.post-56966777216310016002016-10-14T10:40:54.608-05:002016-10-14T10:40:54.608-05:00I hope it works for her!
