My blood test results showed high cholesterol and my thyroid T3 was slighty abnormal. My doctor told me not to diet.
That really threw me off considering all of the other doctors told me to follow a strict diet combined with exercise.

My womens health dr. practices preventitive medicine. I was told to not diet but to eat a balanced meal plan. I went to the bok store and bout Managing PCOS For Dummies and it has been very helpful. I was also told to exercise for 30 min every day. Hope this helps...I also have hypothyroidism. Good luck and feel free to message me.
