someone told me this about t3 and carbs. need help

[Minitor2]

someone i dont know how up to speed he was but he said that if im on t3 and im eating 0 carbs that the t3 will be ineffective cause it relies on carbohydrate metabolism to work. so if im not eating carbs that i wont get the full effect of the t3. now i just started on the jpi jones gytomel pills at 75mcgs a day split up 2 in the am 1 pm and im curious to know if this is true. it dosent make sense cause why would your metabolism only be higher when u eat carbs? can someone shed some light on this. if i have to eat carbs can i get away with only eating them before 12pm or something so im not sleeping on carbs and they get burnt off by the end of the day? any advise is appreciated

i thnink your friend is a little confused...it takes "energy" to convert t4 to t3...the body mostly produces t4 and then converts it to t3..carbs lead to the citric acid cycle which produces ATP which in turn helps with this conversion.
but since you are already taking t3( cytomel ) then you won't have to worry about any conversions.

Minitor......what's up my friend.....

Pittsburgh nailed it!

You can stay on your low carb diet along with exogenous T3 and still see results from it--

Why didn't you just ask me this ONE question on AIM???? Dinga- ling
