hi all, this is long so TY in advance for your help!
after months of working out 4-5x a week (if not more) for a min of 30 - 40 min a day (often longer) as well as significant diet changes (cutting out sugars, focus on fresh rather than processed foods, cutting out snacks and sweets, etc.), i've seen very little change in my weight.
i've gotten stronger, and my cardio has improved as im not winded as easily and can jog longer/father and am no longer sore after almost ANY workout (even when i up the intensity). so my muscles are strong and my cardio is getting better...yippee. but my weight...grrrr! come to think of it, the only time i lost weight several years ago was about 10 pounds and that was taking vitamins regularly, which i started again.
in passing, i thought to ask my mother if we had any history of hypothyroidism in our fam and WOAH my great-grandmother died in the early 1900s of goiter due to hypothyroidism, it was an underlying cause for my grandmother's diabetes, and my mother is on medication for it. yeah, im 35 and no one told me til now. that said - i do NOT want to go the medicine route and looked into natural supps.
so i'm trying bladderwrack, l-tyrosine, and organic coconut oil in conjunction with ACV - heard lots of good stuff, and just ordered some and would love to hear feedback. do you have any experience with these supps? or with hypothyroidism? what about with stubborn weight loss? i'd love to hear more!
also for ACV - does it have to be organic/pure or is regular ok? (all i have at the moment is regular)
thanks!
