I went into the doctor because I was gaining around five pounds a month in spite of healthy eating and exercising up to an hour a day five or six days a week. My doctor ran a ton of tests on me, including thyroid, and concluded that my hormones were messed up and that my body was "acting" like it was diabetic and when I eat my body retains all the sugars and turns them into fat. Or something like that lol He talked about medication for diabetics that would help but never perscribed them. I am on birth control to regulate my hormones now but my body is still slowly trying to get back to normal. I struggle to regulate my sugar levels by (trying) not to eat a lot of sugar or carbs. I am a carb junkie so that is extremely difficult for me. |
