I consistently have a low body temperature of approx. 97.4 degrees. The only time I have been able to lose the slightest bit of fat (about .25 lbs in a week) is when I would drop my kcals VERY low for 5 days, 45 min cardio every day, then on the 6th day crank my kcals very high, do no cardio and watch my body temp. make it to the low 98 degree range. This has been going on for years. SO, I got fed up after my last blood work and decided to try and address the problem myself (insert judgement here). I suspected that it was my thyroid, even though my levels measured "fine," and I tried some very low dose armour thyroid (with some dhea to address that issue). This did help make the fat loss easier, but I was still busting my ass for .5 lb per week. I could live with that pace of fat loss, but because I self-diagnosed I stopped just because I dont know if I fixed the orginal problem or not. Help>

ANY ideas? Why would the armour work a little bit even though my blood values were fine. And even if my blood values were slightly off prior to my supplementing with the armour, why would it seem as if my thyroid was completely useless.

If you can't control your self with food. Don't blame hormones at 30 years old.
