How I Lose Weight With Hashimotos Disease and Hypothyroidism

[@ursulamuga2737]

Starts at 3:45! Thank you.

[@lunacar454]

Thank you!!

[@cameronrowe5644]

loved hearing you talk about diet- because i feel like thats my main issue too. Hearing that other people are in the same boat as me makes me feel so much better and really makes me want to work harder. Thank you!!

[@Spookyriderz]

I've noticed that when I lift, I need days to recover. It took 2 years after my diagnosis to really notice that any muscle soreness causes me to be exhausted easily. I love the gym too.

[@rkymtngal]

With more advanced hashi, working out hard in the gym can flair the symptoms and put you in a full blown hashi flair. This vid shows someone who is new to hashi

[@SugarDugs]

@@rkymtngal you're right. I am relatively newly diagnosed. But I do know everybody is different! For now, my current routine helps ease my aches and hashi's pain. It is not causing me flare ups. It is doing the opposite. But I have heard that the sort of workout routine I have doesn't work as well for others and they find workout routines such as simply walking or yoga to be more beneficial. That's my point of the video! Everyone is different! But regardless of what workout method you choose, moving is extremely helpful for issues like Hashimotos, even when your body hurts and all you want to do is sit.

[@SugarDugs]

Amy, I'm sorry you're losing some of your ability to lift due to the easy exhaustion. It's so hard. Listen to your body but don't give up! Your body might be telling you that you need to find a different workout method but I know that Hashi's and other autoimmune issues like it are made better with some sort of exercise or movement involved! I hope you can find something that works for you.

[@sassy61]

1. Take your medication 2. Work out 3-5 x a week 3. Diet 4. Overly explain yourself 5. The end

[@SugarDugs]

Thanks for that TLDR. I know I am prone to talking too much >_

[@lawryndawson526]

sandysrz she did perfect

[@nessawithsmiles]

@@SugarDugs you didnt overexplain. You did great.

[@jamiegould689]

I’m A long time Hashimotos !! Everyone please pay attention and be tested for antibodies yearly. Glad this routine works for you. We don’t all gain weight and we don’t all struggle to lose. I’m with you keep trying till you figure what works ❤️

[@SugarDugs]

Yes! Hashimotos, along with so many other things in life, look different depending on the person. Best of luck to you in your Hashimoto's journey, even if you are a Hashi's veteran!

[@cynthialove9273]

For 2 years while we were finding my correct dose were hell, I could barely work. I would get up and ready for work and need a nap. I would make dinner and need a nap. I would clean and need a nap. Now I am on my correct dose and have had good numbers since February. I am lucky I am Slowly losing the weight....very SLOWLY. I have lost 50 lbs in 2 years and I have 50lbs more to go. My thin hair is starting to grow back normal but it is all so slow. My skin is becoming normal again. There is hope. It is slow and takes work...a lot of work. No more naps tho! :)

[@NishwarMohtamin]

I've also noticed that with hashi fish has helped me feel a lot better than meats in general! Please do an update for the current covid19 situation!

[@zelleh8847]

Without medicine I would have killed myself . I started with hyperthyroid/graves and then I became hypothyroid . Now getting in the middle . Patience is important and medicine is crucial .

[@AutumnHarvest1]

I too have hypothyroidism and found it impossible to lose weight. I luckily for the first time in a year, have managed to lose 7 pounds and I'm still aiming for at least 8 more pounds. I recently had a decrease in appetite due to the increasing warmer weather, and ding ding ding, that was the ticket. My appetite is coming back, but I was always a binge eater. It's taking extreme will power, but I'm eating healthy, and having enough calories, and working out. I'm just down to 2 meals a day, instead of 3 and it's working. Taking my thyroid medication has never actually helped me drop weight.

[@SugarDugs]

Congrats on the weight loss success! And thanks for your insight. Like I said, everybody is different. What works for me might not work for you! I'm just here to offer what worked for me! I will be talking more about intermittent fasting in my next video. That has helped me drop weight and/or maintain weight loss (similar to your concept of skipping a meal).

[@jamieleverton7751]

Violet Rain but it will help get your metabolism on track. And other things

[@patriciap2393]

Do you experience the extreme fatigue & tiredness? I just turned 60, and was just diagnosed with Hashimoto's and prescribed levothyroxine. Despite working in medical offices most of my career, I had never heard of it! I knew that something was wrong for many years, but the doctors just said I was depressed, and prescribed anti-depressants. When I said I can't get up & going for work, and it's difficult to function, the doctor would say to take a shower & have some coffee. Then, about 8 or 9 months ago, my body really crashed. I suddenly gained 15 lbs, and I felt SO sick! I couldn't go to work. I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. I thought it was from menopause! I've always exercised a few days per week, and kept in decent shape, but now I have a part-time job (4 hours a day), and it's a struggle to stay awake after work. I know that proper nutrition is the most important, but because I'm so tired in the morning, I don't have time to eat a good meal before going to work, and after work, I'm too tired to cook. I zonk out on the sofa! I have cut out gluten & most dairy from my diet, but I still feel like crap, so it must be something else...?

[@Lovelyforlife1]

Patricia P agree!! Your story is familiar for so many with thyroid problems. Oddly caffeine is not good for thyroids. Check out the website stopthethyroidmadness.com

[@meera2531]

Cut out peanuts and other inflammatory foods too. Check out the AIP diet and follow it... It's tough but it does work.

[@irissoniachavez]

Patricia P best thing you can do is keto for your thyroid. I have hashimotos and it’s life saving. Clear headed and more energy. Also, try to get off depression meds it has fluoride that kills your thyroid more. Read Isabella Wents hashimotos protocol. Life saving. Good luck

[@meera2531]

A combination of Carnivore keto and AIP is working for me as long as I stay consistent with it.

[@Lovelyforlife1]

Unfortunately meds don’t always work and eventually you have to keep upping the dose. It also does not reverse the weight gain for a lot of people. Glad it is working for you be mindful that it does not work for a lot of people. I have been on meds for 15 years. I can take my meds, workout and eat perfect and can’t lose weight and now recently I am gaining weight again. No change in what I’m doing.

[@keeley9096]

Watch Dr. Westin Child's videos!

[@delishme2]

Maybe you need to switch to desiccated thyroid meds. Where you are getting a greater spectrum. T2 is what influences metabolic processes the most. You might be one of the people who would benefit from this. Dr Alan Christionson has quite a bit on this.

[@jamieleverton7751]

Ok so this is my story if anyone cares. I was in fourth grade and I had trouble breathing so I went to the hospital they drew blood a couple weeks later I got results that I had hashimotos. It all made since why I was so over weight

[@jamieleverton7751]

But I’m currently in 7th grade and I have worked really hard to keep my body on track but it has been a struggle. BIG TIP GREEK YOGURT as a snack it’s really good for hashimotos. If you can get one made out of coconut or almond milk because dairy isn’t good for your hashimotos. This is my story please no hate❤️👍

[@nicolelipsky9382]

Wow. I'm sorry you have it but happy they caught it so early for you. I complained for 5 years of sever pain and issues and wasn't diagnosed until 32

[@kellylaurenxo]

I was diagnosed with Hashimotos and my doctor doesn’t want to prescribe the medication because my T3/T4 levels aren’t still “normal”. I don’t know what to do.

[@SugarDugs]

Kelly Lauren Claiborne I’m sorry. That’s a tricky, frustrating situation. Just remember: you are your best advocate. Doctors are there to help YOU. If you aren’t comfortable with how things are being handled, don’t be afraid to get a second opinion!

[@Doswillgetyou]

Look into Dr. Isabella Wentz. She will change your life, without medication.

[@emmasmith4664]

Keep track of your symptoms and ask for retesting regularly!! I went from normal with TPO presence and not on medication, to a TSH of 111 (yes one hundred and eleven!) in the space of less than 4 months.

[@ericar]

I've been struggling recently with Thryoid issues - my doctor said it was borderline but I have so many symptoms and it's making me miserable. I'm scheduling an appointment to go back and hopefully get medication - do you think it's worth it when you have to be on it for life?

[@SugarDugs]

In my humble opinion, yes it is worth it. Though I will admit, I struggled (and still do struggle) with the idea of being on a pill for life. It seems intimidating and depressing. Some would argue that there are dietary changes, lifestyle changes, etc that you can do to heal your thyroid. I believe there are too! But, in the meantime, I am not taking any chances. I need to be able to be at my healthiest. Like you mentioned, it can be pretty miserable to live your life without taking some action to help or heal your sick thyroid. Keeping yourself healthy and keeping your thyroid and overall health from declining should be top priority! I think even with a healthy diet and good "numbers" on my blood tests I would still remain on the medication. Popping a pill or two every morning beats letting your thyroid (and overall health) get worse and worse!

[@ericar]

@@SugarDugs Thank you so much for your advice ☺️ your video was so helpful to me as well x

[@23tessil]

How tall are you if you don’t mind me asking

[@bekbrown8844]

Seriously stop waffling on just get on with it

[@SugarDugs]

Bek Brown you must be new here.

[@SugarDugs]

Ursula down below put a time stamp of when I start talking about the subject if that helps you.

[@bekbrown8844]

Sugar Dugs I'm so sorry I was in a bad mood that day and I'm so embarrassed by my comment, I'm truly sorry. Your video has good content. I'm so sorry again I'm very embarrassed.

[@SugarDugs]

Bek Brown we all have those days. It’s ok!

[@bekbrown8844]

Sugar Dugs thank you for being so understanding and humbling me.

[@saradoggett2604]

Are you on levo or name brand? Thank you

[@marzbar5941]

Ever thought about carnivore?

[@brittanycoutino249]

Vegan for weight loss but look at fat content

[@MrsKunis]

Thyroid medicine does not help me.

[@SugarDugs]

I'm sorry. Meds haven't made me lose weight either. But taking them combined with other lifestyle changes have helped me manage weight gain with Hashis. Everyone is different of course. I hope you find something that works for you!
