A member asked:

Suffer from graves' disease and i'm gaining weight :(, would going on a raw food diet for a month help me lose weight dramatically?

Thyroid testing ?: Weight gain may be a sign of poorly controlled thyroid functions, get your thyroid functions tested again and make sure you doc knows about it before you try any diets.

Probably: I am very glad that your graves' disease was diagnosed on time. In the bad old days, this was a common and cruel killer. Nobody really understands why appetite varies in thyroid disease -- the classic tale about "hyperthyroidism causes weight loss" often doesn't work. A raw food diet will result in your eating less (doesn't taste that good) and you'll likely lose weight, but ask your doctor.
