I had 3 children on a fairly young age (before I was 27), had a full hysterectomy when I was 30, I'm not on any hormone replacement therapy. I started Banting in June 2014 and lost 5 kilo's. I use meds for an under active Thyroid (Eltroxin & Euthyrox) and also uses Glucophage to control my sugar levels - I do not have high sugar, just for precaution.
