[QUOTE="dickielongate, post: 154251, member: 38930"] Quick update, after starting metformin and NDT and letting things settle down, I decided to try intermittent fasting again. Finding the NDT dose is interesting. At first going up to 2 grains progressively was great, but if took 2 grains today, I would definitely by hyper. You can feel it. I am guessing it takes time for cellular T3 to build up. I had also ceased exercise while giving up caffeine to let my adrenal hormones to regulate a bit. There was no weight loss with just the pills, and it wasn't until I started the IF. I am on day 5 now of IF and have lost 3.5Kg (7.7lb). This is after doing the exact same regime with exercise during a 3 month plateau where I did not lose a pound. Not only that, I felt like crap towards the end of the fast period before, whereas now I feel great. Going to add exercise back in now, but probably HIIT first rather than my staple of barbell stuff. Despite the weight loss, no substantial impact on the belly circumference yet. But I have given up worrying about muscle loss in favour of really trying to blitz the belly. Since my first post, where I knew very little, I still know very little, but have continued to read. I've discovered the intrinsic link between insulin resistance and hypothyroidism, along with a ton of other intrinsic links. Interestingly, at first I could not find much about using metformin and NDT outside of Jay Campbell, but have managed to find a few more clues and voices on this, including Westin Childs, who is one of the only people I've seen recommend IF with hypothyroidism. He does stress the importance of other measures first, like getting medicated adequately. I like his take on things. I'm not there yet, but these are promising signs, and I will update again in a week or so. [/QUOTE]
