Hi Cathe,
Are you an Oxygen Magazine reader? I was hoping you would share your thoughts on the article in the current (Feb 2003) issue featuring Jenny Worth's "fitness" routine-three separate hours of cardio a day 7 days a week in addition to rigorous weight training and gymnastics practice and what seems like a very low calorie diet (her cheat meal is a banana and a handful of raisins or rice!!!). All this to combat a "rare thyroid disorder" (hypothyroidism- hardly rare), yet her levels are not even low enough to require medication! This has really struck a nerve with me as I think she is promoting all kinds of false information and may discourage many women with hypothyroidism from even trying exercise because they don't have an extra 5-6 hours a day to workout.
Please Cathe, tell them it's not true!!!
