@GlucoseGal of course, wish you the best. Honestly, I wonder if a lot of people who come to the Peat space take baggage from past dietary ideas with them — my insistence on fat for satiety from my carnivore days definitely contributed to weight gain — but if I had just put less butter in my rice and ate more rice and less chocolate, I don’t think I’d have gained 40 lbs Peating — and of course I got on actual thyroid meds (not glandulars) well after the weight gain.
