Total thyroid removal 1/15. weight concerns. what's your thoughts on paleo diet? is it healthy or should i just ct calories / exercise /49 yrs
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: the paleo diet is essentially a lower carb limited processed food diet. I think its great. Anytime you remove something from your diet...you will lose weight. I see a lot of diabetics in my practice. I usually advise them to remove carbs and they lose weight. Once they plateau we add calorie counting and restriction using tracking apps. We get impressive weight loss results doing this.
