Your guide to losing weight with Hypothyroidism…

To treat hypothyroidism naturally without drugs…

Most people (like you maybe) who have hypothyroidism have low levels of Selenium & Vitamin E, Iodine and Zinc & Copper in their diets causing hypothyroidism and…

You can easily improve your thyroid function to boost your metabolism (for faster weight loss) quickly & easily by eating the right foods so…

To get more Zinc & copper in your diet…

6 Ways you can cure hypothyroidism naturally…

1. Get 20 minutes of sunlight daily

The best source of Vitamin D to help cure hypothyroidism comes from natural sunlight. Vitamin D is necessary for normal thyroid hormone production.

2. You may need more L-tyrosine

L-tyrosine is just an amino acid that is used by your thyroid, along with iodine, to activate the metabolism boosting T3 and T4 hormones and… L-tyrosine is found in many protein foods such as meats, dairy products, fish, wheat and oats but…

If protein makes up 30% of your diet then you're probably already getting enough L-tyrosine in your diet and eating more may not help cure your hypothyroid problem.

3. Try not to get stressed out too much

Bad stress is one of the major causes of hypothyroidism and as you may know… Stress causes the hormone Cortisol to be released in your body and… Cortisol limits your thyroid hormone production and Cortisol also causes belly fat so…

You need to go here to see how to deal with stress

4. Avoid Chlorine & Fluoride

Chlorine & Fluoride BLOCK the iodine receptors in the thyroid gland and you can go here to see why iodine is important for treating hypothyroidism but basically…

The less Iodine = Less thyroid hormone production and since most tap water is full of fluorine & chlorine…

You need to drink bottled water that is Chlorine & Fluoride free and you need to avoid toothpaste that contains fluoride and just to prove how important it is that you avoid fluoride…

Fluoride use to be used as a drug to treat hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) because it makes the thyroid underactive very quickly.

5. Stop Smoking

Smoking impairs both thyroid hormone secretion and thyroid hormone action so if you're going to smoke - Use an E-Cigarette that will not damage your thyroid.

6. Exercise 30-to-60 minutes a day

Exercising will improve blood flow to your thyroid which will lead to more production of thyroid hormone and the more intense your exercise is = the better the blood flow to your thyroid.

3 Herbs that help treat hypothyroidism…

1. Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine to support the thyroid gland. Studies show that it enhances thyroid function and produces a significant increase in T4 thyroid hormone.

2. Guggul extract

Research in mice shows Guggul extract to have very strong thyroid stimulating actions & it increases iodine uptake (see why that's I important here) and…

New research on women with hypothyroidism shows that women who took a Guggul supplement every day were more likely to lose weight.

3. Coleus Foreskohlii

A herb native to subtropical areas of India, Thailand and Burma. It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine. Its active constituent Forskolin has been shown to increase the production of thyroid hormones and stimulate their release.

The foods you want to avoid with hypothyroidism are Goitrogens &…

Goitrogens are mainly found in soybean-related foods & cruciferous vegetables and many other foods like peaches, strawberries and millet (click here to see the full list) and…

You want to avoid Goitrogens because they contain chemicals that make it harder for your thyroid to make thyroid hormones that keep your metabolism normal and since it may be impossible for you to completely avoid all goitrogenic foods in your diet…

You can cook goitrogenic foods to remove the chemicals that interfere with normal thyroid function plus… Eating these goitrogenic foods in moderation and not excessively eating them won't have any bad effects on your thyroid and…

Here's a list of some common Goitrogenic foods…

If you think you have hypothyroidism because you can't lose weight…

Then "Not being able to lose weight" is not the only sign you may have hypothyroidism because… 

Here are some other symptoms to look for before you say have hypothyroidism…

Your total is:

To see if you may have hypothyroidism…

  1. Place a digital thermometer or an oral thermometer by your bed before you go to sleep but make sure you shake down the oral thermometer to at least 96 degrees and when you wake up the next morning…
  2. Immediately place the thermometer in your armpit and leave it there for 10 minutes before getting out of bed and just relax and remain still during the test and after 10 minutes…
  3. Record your temperature and do this for the next three days and calculate the average temperature and…
  4. A temperature between 97.2-to-98.2 degrees is considered normal but…
  5. If your average is lower than 97.2 then you may have hypothyroidism so basically… The lower your body temperature is = the more severe your hypothyroidism may be and…

Follow these 6 guidelines when testing for hypothyroidism at home…

  1. To get an accurate test result… Do not do anything that will cause drastic changes in your body temperature like sleeping with an electric blanket.
  2. Women: Take your temperature in this manner for three days, except for the first few days of the menstrual cycle and the middle day of the cycle.
  3. Men and premenstrual and premenopausal women can do the test any time.
  4. Women in their menstrual years get the most accurate readings on the second or third day after menstrual flow starts.
  5. Don't perform this test if you're suffering from a serious illness or infection because your thyroid will probably go back to normal after you recover.
  6. Make sure you are not taking any medications that may cause hypothyroidism.

Hi Adrian,

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism 1 year ago. I gained 14Kgs in 5 months. Currently I am on thyroxine sodium tablets 100mcg as prescribed my consulting physician. I have scored 95 in your test. After taking medications within 3 months my TSH level came down to normal. Now my TSH is 3.91. But still I am experiencing severe symptoms as mentioned in your test. This is making my life worse personally and professionally. I have changed nearly 5 jobs in 7 months as I fall sick often. I cannot sit under a fan for more than 5 minutes, immediately I start to cough continuously. I cannot sit in AC rooms as I fall sick which makes my temperature rise to 104 degree. I cannot tolerate to sudden changes in seasons. Once I get cold, I suffer from cough and nasal congestion which lasts up to a month or more. I experience joint pain, muscle weakness and sore feet every time. Every morning as I wake up I feel dizzy and very tired and also experience severe headache. My body aches terribly every time. I cannot stand in a place for more than 10 minutes, I feel like somebody is poking my under feet with knife. I get a feeling of my legs might break if I dont sit and lift up my legs from ground. Most of the time I will be just sleeping. Sometimes I sleep for 2 days continuously without waking up. I get angry very soon or go under depression very soon and very often. I have lost concentration in everything. Currently I am jobless. I have started avoiding my friends and also have stopped communicating much with my family. Even My family is finding difficulty in dealing with my anger and depression and sudden mood changes. So they dont talk to me much like before. I have lost interest in my life. I m desperately in need of help. Please advice.
I am 24 year old female. Weight: 69kg. Height: 5 ft.2 ins
Thanks

Hi! I scored a 44 on the test. I'm 21 now but when I was 18 my doctor told me my thyroid was low which explained why I was tired all the time but not bad enough too be on medicine. So I started eating healthy and exercising. Lost about 10 lbs and went back too the doctor and she said my thyroid was normal again. But my insurance ended when I was 19 so I haven't been back to the doctor since. But I'm about 100% certain I have a low thyroid again. Biggest thing is bad puffy under eye bags and I'm extremely tired and unmotivated about 99% of the time. I hate this :/

Hi Adrian,

I was diagnosed with PCOS three years ago and Hashimoto's just this past January. I am 17 years old, 5' 3", and currently around 170 lbs. I had started losing weight on my own in October of 2012 starting from 182 lbs and by July I had almost reached my goal weight of 150 lbs, but I didn't ever make it because my depression started relapsing and I suddenly started gaining weight rapidly. I eat very healthy (organic foods only; I am allergic to most preservatives) and exercise outside for at least an hour every day, so I was really confused as to why I can't lose weight (it was also extremely hard to begin with, so feeling my pants getting tighter every week is the most discouraging thing ever.) By October I had gone to see my endocrinologist about my unexplained weight gain and after taking a blood test they found that I have Hashimoto's. I have pretty much all of the symptoms listed up there except for irregular periods. Akso, even though I have PCOS, I don't have any insulin resistance nor am I at risk for any serious illnesses like diabetes. I was prescribed Synthroid and am currently on 75 mgs. I was on 50 mgs before, and until my dose was increased I felt extremely lethargic, cold, and weak all of the time. I have almost as much energy as I used to so I'm back to regular exercise, but I can't seem to lose weight at all!

I'm very frustrated because I don't know where to start again; what I did last time no longer works for me. My exercise is mainly reserved to walking since I have complications with my breathing, elliptical at the gym, and more recently, swimming. The only change in my diet is that I ended up developing an addiction to chocolate that I am currently trying to break, but since I started gaining weight months before I developed it I don't suspect it to be one of the main causes of my weight gain (it's not a very serious addiction either; a bar of it every two weeks or so.)

Thanks for any suggestions!

your workout seems like it is okay but how many total calories are you eating per day?

Thank you for all the info but I am a bit confused and was wondering if you could clear something up for me.
Peanuts are bad, but then Peanut Butter is good? is this right? Is there a certain kind/brand of peanut butter that is good in Vitamin E and is not considered a Goitrogen??

March 11, 2013

Adrian Bryant

no if peanuts are bad then peanut butter is also bad for you if you have Hypothyroidism

I have a fairly severe hyperthyroid condition, it has been verified by my GP. The only discrepancy I have with the diagnosis and symptom calculation from the excellent article here, is that not every case of hyperthyroidism is true with cold body temperature. I have the opposite, I cannot stand the heat, I love the cold, not freezing, just cool, the heat makes me feel more bloated and very uncomfortable, sometimes my face feels like it is on fire. I have a heat intolerance.
So maybe I am the exception to the rule.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I am managing my thyroid without any medications. I see a doctor of Chinese medicine weekly and take traditional Chinese herbs in powder form. Not only are there no side effects of the herbs, but I am losing weight. My heart palpitations have stopped, I no longer suffer from dizziness, and my energy is slowly increasing. Also, my cycle has normalized and I ovulate regularly (I was also diagnosed with PCOS-although I no longer have cysts also thanks to herbs). I eat a very wholesome diet with rice, tons of vegetables, and small portions of meat. I eat a lot of nuts, usually a yogurt a day, decaffeinated tea only and water. No soda, no coffee, no junk (once a week or so maybe a small indulgence). I think this site has a lot of great recommendations! Also in terms of exercise, I live on a mountain in Taiwan, so I am always getting some exercise just taking my dog for a walk! I am hoping to step up the exercise now and lose about 30 more lbs. Good luck and feel free to write if you have questions! :) Stay positive, I know it's so so hard sometimes!

August 22, 2012

Kim

Would you email me the name and phone number of your Chinese Herbalist, please? I'd appreciate it!

I am 75 and I weighed 288 pounds. In the middle of May I started to reduce my calories to 1400 using the App My Fitness Pal. This 1400 average includes walking one mile every evening. I lost 15 pounds. Then my weight loss stopped even though I maintained the calories and walking. I have a paralyzed foot so I can not walk any faster than 2 MPH. Do you have any suggestions

Hi,

I was diagnosed with having an underactive thyroid over a year ago. Have been on 50mg Levothyroxine ever since. Gradually losing little bit of weight. But now I am at the point where I want to look my best. I am 5ft6 and weigh 11 and half stones. Ideally I'd like to be around 9 and half stones, but for now 10 or 10.5 seems like a realistic goal for me. I have also been told I carry a lot of water weight and need to up my cardio.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out and recommend an exercise regime which would help me lose weight.

Hi! I recently had surgery and Radiation treatment for thyroid cancer,back in February '12, cancer is all gone, thankfully! but I am on Synthroid 200mg and I take Vit D 50,000 mg ounce a week, and I have not been able to lose weight and my energy is sluggish, usually always tired, I have a very physical job ,on my feet most of the time, work 40hrs a week, and try to get plenty of rest, I eat lot's of veggies and drink only water,stay away from sweets, my doc says I am overweight and that I should have lost weight with the Synthroid. I am 44 yrs old 5'9'' and weigh 219 lbs, I just started doing your awesome work out plans, but i wanted to know if there is any other supplements I should be taking to help with my lack of energy and swelling on my face hands and feet that I have been experiencing since my surgery.

July 07, 2012

Adrian Bryant

there's not really any supplements that i know of that will help you with swelling

Chriseya Weed

Hello, my name is Chriseya. I just happen to be looking for ways to lose weight do to my Hypothytroidism. I run across your post here and thought that I should leave you a comment. I noticed that you said that you still feel sluggish, tired, lack of energy, swelling in face, hands, and feet. All these are symptoms that maybe your Synthroid needs to be recalculated. Your dose sounds like it is not high enough. I say this because September 2 and 5th, 1997 I thyroidectomy of my right lymphnode. Found out I had thyroid cancer and immediately underwent a complete thyroidectomy of my left gland. They found no more cancer surrounding the left gland. Then I had to go through this Iodine diet, then a whole body scan. That is when we found out I still had cancer cells that moved down towards my throat. Then I underwent the worse treatment and that was Radiation. I say this becuase of the aftermath and the treatment at the hospital. I developed Lymphedema because the Radiation it self weakened my lymphnodes, which caused my lower lymphs to began to swell and ache a lot. Be very vigilant of your lymphs, definitely start to lose the weight and take care of your skin. Because infections can occure if you dont take care of yourself. Starting with weight loss is the key. I wish I knew that. Because since my surgeries and radiation, I doubled in size and developed lumphedema. Lymphedema is not curable but manageable. I am 32 years old, 5' 3" and 300+ pounds. It is going to be hard, but if you eat a balanced meal and exercise regularly, you can do it. But talk to your oncologist and have them check your TSH. Sounds like your levels T4 levels are off. Good Luck!!

I am 5 ft 2 in and weigh 220lbs. I am very scared I have type2 diabetes and hypothyroidism. I am on hormone therapy for my thyroid but I feel like I am still falling apart, my hair looks gross my body looks gross, and I am beside myself with what to do. I weighed 130lbs pre-pregnancy and everything went to hell once my son was born. I am asking or any tips or advice. I am willing to try anything.

Hi,
I was recently told that I had a low thyroid. My TSH level is 7.58
I was put on synthyroid, but I started having crazy symptoms. I couldn't sleep. My heart raced & my hands & feet would swell.
I recently had a baby (almost a year ago) & am still nursing.
Can you suggest anything that would specifically help my problem? I scored a 20 on your test. The only real symptoms that I seem to have are fatigue & dry hair.
Thank you.

June 16, 2012

Adrian Bryant

are there any alternative meds your doctor can put you on?

June 17, 2012

Anita

You might benefit greatly from an iron supplement. Low iron is very common in women especially after pregnancy. If your thyroid meds are making you too hyperthyroid comsider asking to switch to a natural dessicated thyroid product like armour or Thyroid by erfa. Good luck.

Hello Adrian, I could really use some help, please, to get some weight off. I am 46, 5'4'' and 186lbs.and climbing. I scored 67 on your hypothyroid test. Any kind of workout or exercise is a major problem for me because of a rare condition I have. I've tried many diet plans, nutritionists, physiotherapy,etc with no luck. Doctors in the past have not helped at all. Currently I do not have one and can't get tested for hypothyroidism. Are there any supplements that really can increase or jumpstart a persons thyroid/ metabolism and help them with energy and burning fat/calories? Please help.

May 27, 2012

the supplements you need are listed on this page but you should start off with this plan here

I am hypo for 3yrs. I am at 100mcg and my levels have been on target for 1yr. I worked before this and had an ok body. I lost all the muscle I had when my thyroid fell out and my metabolism sucks. I eat super healthy and still workout but am getting no results. How long does it take to rebuild all the muscle I lost. I am 5'4" and at 129-130. I weighed 118-121 before. Thanks!!

I'm a woman 42 years old 5'2" and 204lbs. and have been recently diagnosed not with hypothyroidism but hyperthyroidism. I know it doesn't seem like it based on my height and weight but I used to be even heavier. Since my diagnosis I have been taking medication; Propylthiouracil to reduce the T4 hormone my thyroid is way over producing and Toprol for the irregular heartbeats. The medication is helping my thyroid T4 levels but I have begun to put on weight like crazy. I was 189 lbs. not just 3 weeks ago. I'm overly tired much of the time but don't consider myself a couch potato. I don't have an exercise routine but I am not unactive. I'm getting really depressed and the exercise I do get agrivates my heart palpitations caused by the hyperthyroid problems. Do you have any suggestions for people with my problem of hyperthyroidism being treated leading to weight gain? Thank you for any help you can offer! Sincerely, Rose
