I was diagnosed with Graves disease 6 months ago and have been taking Tapazole to correct my thyroid levels. My levels are now normal and I hope to wean myself off the meds later this year. I was also told my cholesterol levels were high, so I changed my diet and started 5:2 fasting to correct them.
This has worked for the cholesterol but I’m wondering if the fasting puts too much stress on my thyroid gland, reducing my chance of reversing the Graves disease?
I don’t want to lose any weight but enjoy the health benefits that I’m feeling from 5:2 fasting.
Does anyone have experience of the effects on thyroid function, specifically an overactive thyroid gland?
