Suggest Vegetarian Diet For Weight Loss
Yes; I wanted to go on a diet eating, vegetables and fruits, mainly - allium, cruciferous and citrus. But then I read somewhere that if you have problems with your thyroid, cruciferous vegetables are not good for you. I had a small goiter years ago and it seems to have disappeared or gotten much smaller. I had forgotten about it since none of my doctors have noticed it either. I am overweight and would like to try a veggie diet. Can you help me solve this? Thanks Tracey
