Anyone try XLS

[Fatpossum]

Hi

Someone at work is enjoying great weight loss success with XLS.

I, however, am on T3 and wondered if anyone on here has tried it.

As you have Hashimoto's you are more likely to benefit from strictly gluten free diet ( assuming you are not on one already)

Have you got recent blood test results for TSH, FT4, FT3 and vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12

Are you still on high dose T3 only

Have you managed to sort out low stomach acid and get off PPI's

Low stomach acid is far more likely to be an issue when hypothyroid

Hi

I’ve has ALL the tests and I’m not gluten intolerant.

I just need to lose a stone fast 👍

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Fatpossum]

There aren't any tests for gluten intolerance, only coeliac

The only way to know is to try it for minimum of 3-6 months.

If anyone ever discovers a weight loss pill that is truly safe, effective,and doesn't cause side effects with other body systems (although these side effects often are not evident until a product has been on the market long enough to gather documentation) I believe they will become the richest person on the planet. I just looked up some information: The pills 'work' by binding fat which comes with its own set of problems, the company recommends the pills be used in conjunction with diet and exercise. This comment has been a marketing phrase for years by the makers of numerous weight loss products. What they don't say is that diet and exercise alone will promote weight loss. No need to spend money and risk health with medications. I understand wanting to lose weight as even when I was younger and thin I always had to worry about every pound. If you want to give it a try if it were me I would do some research first. Also, does your friend have thyroid problems or take medications? This puts a different spin on XLS use for you. I confess there were times in my life I tried some pretty strange ways to lose weight (I'm 74 and about 30 lbs overweight now). I've also had undertreated hypothyroidism for years until recently and am now slowly on the mend. I'm a retired nurse and I will never know if some of my 'fast weight-loss attempts' in my past have contributed to my current thyroid problems. Don't mean to lecture just concerned. A little off-topic: My younger sister who is 70 had one of the early (1984) gastric bypass surgeries. Over the years as a result of not being able to absorb needed nutrients she has developed many health problems including emergency surgeries, chronic conditions, etc. And, she has gained much of all the weight she initially lost back. There is no short cut to weight loss. I wish there were. Take care. irina

I found that the 5:2 diet worked for me but ONLY when I was optimally medicated. I am on T3. When I did the 5:2 I was on T3 from my GP (now stopped) and was losing 2lbs per week, every week. In total I lost 24lbs in weight. However, one batch of T3 pills was under-strength and for a month I did not lose any weight until I changed batch. I now do a ‘diet day’ whenever I wish to lose a few pounds. There is a limit to how much weight you can and should lose in a short period of time. Good luck.

Nasty. nasty stuff. Can make you, er, "leak" from the back end and stops you absorbing fat soluble vitamins like A, D and E. To be avoided
