Okay. I've been taking Lugol's as is (without reducing it) for about a month now.
The biggest difference I've noticed personally between reducing all of it and not reducing it is my hunger.
This may, or may not have anything to do with it. I decided to start eating until I'm physically full at each meal. Before, I was eating a little less just because I felt like I should. If I eat until I'm full I don't get hungry AT ALL for about 8 hours. Before I was getting hungry every 3-4 hours.
Keep in mind I also switchd to a different chromium supplement that is basically bewer's yeast.
I eat only 2 times per day on some days because I'm just not hungry more than that.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,506,330Hi PM, this is something I've noticed as well. I think its because my BSL has been very stable while on Lugols and companions. I used to have a lot of problems with hypoglycaemia, and this meant I had to eat 4-6 times a day. Now I have just 2 meals, and have no hypo symptoms at all in between meals, and I'm not hungry in between meals.
My BSL has been stable at 4.5-4.8, which is considered low by the docs, but for me this is normal. I'm also taking bitters before each meal, and before bed, and its amazing how much less food I need now that I'm actually digesting it properly, and getting the most nutritional value out of the food I eat.
I don't take a chromium supplement, so I know its the Iodine thats made the difference, it was actually one of the first improvements I had when I first started Iodine supps.

This is a reply to # 1,506,342similar situation here. I used to be able to eat like a horse (and not gain weight), and I would get low blood Sugar between meals. I think it's partly the Iodine and partly better habits, better food combining and eating more nutrient dense foods, but in the past I could never skip any of my 3 square meals a day, not to mention snacks, but I routinely do just 2 meals now, with the occasional bite of fruit or nuts between, and portions are smaller, I just get full faster. I also can't believe how long a fruit and greens smoothie with no fat will last me from morning to mid afternoon at least, and I don't even have that until a couple hours or so after I'm up in the morning. In years past I had to have food or juice almost immediately on arising. Sometimes now I forget breakfast altogether.
