To be able to eat without putting on weight all the time. I have hypothyroidism and as a result have gained 12 pounds without even trying. I went to a nutrionist who said I could eat Sara Lee Delightful bread at 45 calories a slice at breakfast and lunch. Well that's more bread than I used to eat before, and have not lost any weight. So she said to try Rice Cakes. Well I don't eat white rice or bread or pasta. I am trying to find brown rice cakes and then will incorporate them into my food plan. Wish me luck!
