It keeps you eating smaller meals throughout the day which helps your metabolism. So say you woke up and took your meds at 7 and eat breakfast at 8m you would eat each additional meal at 10a, 1p, 3p, 6p and 8p. She lost a ridiculous amount of weight and I started this diet today.
Just cross off the veggies that aren't recommended for hypo patients (broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, spinach and sprouts) as this diet was not created just for hypo people. Hope it helps and GOOD LUCK!
