Agreed. Not counting fibrous veggies, I am getting about 100g (so total probably 125g-150g) per day of carbs ... mostly from starchy veggies (sweet potato, potato, artechoke, leeks, etc), legumes, brown/wild rice, and occasionally sprouted breads, whole wheat pasta, etc. 20-25 g per meal is not a lot, but it is enough to keep my energy levels stable and keep the cravings at bay ...
I too have sub-optimal thyroid function. We didn't talk a whole lot about it at my last appointment, but thyroid function and adrenal function are very tied together. Dr. S does a great job in her second book ("The Transition") at tying together adrenaline/cortisol output with thyroid hormone function. I'm not sure that I notice a huge difference on the Armour Thyroid, but it might be that my dosage is not perfect yet. I see my doc again in about 2 weeks.
