Default About doing LC

Reading the facts on Thyroid disease in the thread above, the foods listed as producing a negative thyroid are foods that I frequently eat - broccoli, asparagus, green leafy vegetables, Soy.... How can one do LC and NOT eat these foods??

Is Low Carbing difficult to do when you have hypothyroidism?? This is very discouraging

hi Yvonne,

Goitrogenic foods are a concern when (a) eaten raw and (b) eaten in excess. Cooking eliminates or minimizes the goitrogenic factor. For the benefit of other readers, these foods include:
  • brussles sprouts
    rutabaga (also called swede)
    turnips
    kohlrabi
    radishes
    cauliflower
    cabbage
    kale
    cassava
    millet
Just make sure you have them fully cooked, and/or have them in limited amounts.

Soy products may antithyroid after long-term use. Some studies show yes, other studies say no. Moderation is key.

So aside from this list I can eat asparagus, broccoli, dark green veggies like spinach? I eat these steamed and raw - - especially the broccoli and spinach (salad)
