Thanks for the diet, Acadia. I noticed a year ago that my hair was falling out - not gobs - but more than normal - and I was gaining weight. I told my doctor who said "excercise more". Well I ride a horse just about every day and my house has a zillion stairs, so I asked if it could be my thyroid. Finally, after a year, I was told I have low thyroid and they put me on medication. Well, I am always in a hurry  so I have been starving myself. I will try your diet. Thanks
