[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks so much for all the responses. It is so great to hear that others have dealt with this successfully.

Again, I'm quite positive thyroid is not an issue. I have no health issues that I know of, all my labs were normal at my last checkup this summer. I haven't been excessively tired, particularly since quitting coffee.

Re exercise 5x/week, it's hard to find the time, but I may try to just walk to the metro on the days I don't work out at the gym. I have been working out more than I ever did before (incorporating weights is totally new to me - I used to swim and occasionally run), but it isn't daily.

What about dairy? I have been reading about insulin resistance / LCHF and it seems like dairy is OK? I had almost cut it out in recent months.

Also, what about beans? I have always leaned veggie and eaten a lot of beans to make up for the protein.[b] But it seems like a lot of people classify beans as carbs.[/b] Are there beans that are less carb-y than others?

I don't think I can stick to a strict diet, but I think I can take out sugar, bread, and pasta, since it seems like others my age have had success with this.[/quote]

That's because beans ARE carbs.  Which aren't necessarily bad.  Because they have fiber and more protein than carbs like pasta/rice/bread, they will keep you full longer.  [/quote]
