[QUOTE="djpreef, post: 140850, member: 13724"] Yeah, you're not likely to lose more than water weight and maybe 3-4 pounds in three weeks if that. Check out this short article: [URL='https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07315724.1985.10720087']Effect of low-carbohydrate diets high in either fat or protein on thyroid function, plasma insulin, glucose, and triglycerides in healthy young adults.[/URL] The takeaway here is the last line of the abstract. Just because T3 level drops doesn't mean it's a problem; they could be artificially high because of poor diet to begin with, and that's my suspicion. I was hypothyroid before I started keto in 2017. I've had no problems since. I haven't tested my numbers, so if they went lower, it didn't cause any issue. T4 doesn't drop and reverse T3 doesn't go up, which would seem to indicate that the body is not producing and converting as much T4 to T3 or rT3, probably because it simply doesn't need as much.
