I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and didn’t want medication. I followed BED, eliminated sugar and gluten, and followed the book’s recipes. I ate quinoa, cv’s, green smoothies, soup, and yck. Over 8 months my tsh dropped from 9 to 2 and the doctor doing my blood-work said whatever you’re doing keep going! ~ unknown testimonial
I recommend Tara’s meal plans if you feel daunted about going gluten and dairy free, her ideas are doable. ~ R.E., Montpelier, VT.
