I don't gain any weight because I rigorously exercise several times a week. Burn more calories than you intake and you will lose weight. It's physically impossible not to.

She gets such terrible advice on health, fitness and weight loss matters and she blames herself (lack of willpower) for her repeated failings. I did a 5 or 6yr vegan cleanse with lost of soy (similar to Oprah's) and now require 2 kinds of thyroid medications (synthetic T3 & T4) to feel right. I wish somebody would've told me about that before I read John Robbins' nonsense that got me sold on the vegan way of life. Poor Oprah.

I would have to know a lot more information before I could advise you on your iodine intake, especially since your own doctor - who knows you much better than I do - has advised against taking iodine.

YOU are acidic and the fat is holdiing on because of inflammation. CuT out all the processed stuff and fake sugars and it will come off. I eat real food like farmers and now no weight problem...just organic foods that won't make me ill!!!

Have you heard of anyone else in the area treating bioidentical including thyroid (and best of all would be someone who understands and even agrees with low carb so you don't have to argue and fend off statins etc.) Thanks.

I read in one of Oprah's issues that she had never had a sense of 'community' and now that she does, she is reveling in it. So, be part of her 'community' and ring her doorbell with book-in-hand.

I tried the early version of the Heller's CAD diet, when it had aspartame and creme of tartar for the so-called bread recipe (Yuk!), and I found that it did, in fact, work for me. I lost 30 lbs in a couple of months. I told my doctor about it and she suggested that it should tried for only a few months. I did see the Oprah episode with the Hellers. She ruined them! Although the audience in total lost over 300 lbs, Oprah whined that she 'just wanted an apple'. I thought, 'that's typical'; - sometimes you just can't have the apple without consequences. It's as simple as that. The Hellers, red in embarrassment on stage, tried to explain that some additives such as msg or sodium nitrate, specifically in bacon, (and probably something Oprah's 'chefs' weren't aware of) may cause carb cravings. Again, Oprah whined, 'But I just wanted an apple! Why can't I just have an apple(pie)!?' Well, the same reason you can't eat a tub of ice cream in secret and in your car after the Oscars! I think Oprah's in denial. Perhaps you are right about the fetal programming. When you mentioned it, I started trying to remember exactly what I ate during my first trimester of each of my children. But anyway, my children are 16 and 10 and neither have a weight problem. I have started the Heller's CAD diet again, but am having a more difficult time now than I did 13 years ago when I first succeeded. The weight is just not coming off as quickly and I find I have to work out 3 times as much just to lose 1 lb a week!. So, Doctor, if you could please recommend a good low-carb diet (not the Optifast) then I would be very appreciative.
