“The thyroid researcher and clinician, Broda Barnes, however, noted that high protein, low calorie diets, often employed to treat diabetics at the time, had an inhibitory effect on the thyroid and metabolic rate, and that he could eat about 1,000 extra calories, without gaining any weight, by eating less protein and disproportionately more (mainly animal) fat, while keeping his carbohydrate intake low.
Why a high protein intake would have an inhibitory effect on the thyroid, I'm not completely sure yet.”
lmao! Those bloggers. Surely it can’t be the low calories. It must. Be. The protein. Gosh.
