Be cautioned that very low calorie and/or very low carb on a scale of 2+
weeks tends to reduce T3 output. Not good for hypothyroid folks. It's
one of the main reasons why although low carbing is healthy lower is not
better. It's about hitting an optimal amount not about less is better.

Consider a carb reversal day to kick the thyroid into high gear.
Then return to low carbing. Recall that folks who do a sweet cheat
often get a whoosh afterwards, then go with a carby day based on less
tempting starches not sweets for the same result but less risk of
triggering long lasting cravings.

Maybe you should go for a dressing after all.
