Weight Loss With Hypothyroidism (You're Doing it WRONG)

[@adaharrisonn]

I am also WILDLY sick of doctors telling you to remove stressors in your life like thats something that you can just decide to have or not have.

[@PebbleBeachLife]

This doctor mentioned rhodiola root and exercise to combat stress, so I hope you are not referring to him.

[@tragedy-and-comedy]

I cut all toxic/drama people from my Life including mother and sister. This reduced my stress by 80% alone 😅 Check out videos on Cluster B personalities and Covert narcissism and Daughters of Narcissistic mothers. You might find out you’ve been a magnet for people with personality disorders like I was, not knowing for decades. Stress in itself is not a thing, its trigered by people around you. Wish you a stress free Life.

[@AmiraLeo]

So true! Like life is stressful at times and there's really not much to do about it, thanks for your advice and for making me feel bad. 😅 However, I watched a TED talk once and apparently it's been shown that what matters is how you react to the stress in your life, instead of trying not to be stressed and then being depressed, because you're never going to achieve that.

[@straynekokami720]

Is not about stressful situations, it’s HOW you approach them. Saying this from someone who had a lot of mood issues when younger and has been going to therapy for years. Now I barely get mad or stressed about anything really.

I'm hypo and lost 80 lbs by eating a high fat/protein in the morning because it helped me feel full for most of the day, then another protein meal within 6 hrs. I take chromium picolinate to help with sugar/carb cravings. I also do daily cardio and every 2-3 days strength training. It was a big commitment and am still working on shedding the last few pounds. My A1c tracks at 4.5 without any medication when I was tracking at 12.5 a yr ago. I actually followed Dr. Berg's advice. I'm glad it worked out.

[@admar6934]

You're not supposed to do any intense exercise with hypothyroidism but if you do you shouldn't exercise too much keep it under 20 minutes or less ,because hight intense exercise deplete T3 since it forces your body to use more of it when is slow already. You're not lazy when you don't want to exercise is just your body telling you it needs rest because you don't have all the energy it needs to be used ,you might feel good afterwards but that turns into stress so do something low impact

Finally someone is saying it, I wasted so many years trying every traditional diet and realizing it's not gonna work for me

[@amberlynn72]

It's true , I lost 38 pounds adjusting my Thyrovanz Bovine Thyroid glandular and taking Berberine. No diet or exercise. Just this. In fact I ate junk food and soda whenever i felt like it. As an experiment that it is all about hormones and NOT eat less move more. Now I have tightened up my diet because I have been stuck with the same weight for a year and also keeping an eye on my thyroid levels, insulin and my iron deficiency which also plays a role in higher blood sugar .

I personally think that is too long to wait. So basically if you are taking 200 mgs lets say. Try taking 225 and if the scale is going up then try taking 175 mgs.. Basically you want to try to find the right dose for the weight you are at at the time. I really feel like as you lose weight you need less of it but i am still working on it. Slow process

Eat an optimal species appropriate diet of primarily at least 80% raw water rich fruit (not dried) and water rich raw vegetables including vegetables with seeds like cucumbers and tomatoes. Tender leafy greens like the lettuces and a few nuts and seeds abut 1/4 cup per day or less. You can eat as much as you want of these things and you will lose weight easily. I promise. Just avoid cooked foods ( except steamed veggies or soup once in a while), and avoid animal products. Avoid grains and legumes. They are not conducive to losing weight nor are they as healthful as fruit is and they can't be eaten raw unless they are sprouted.

If you gained weight on thyroid hormone, it could be that the t4 is converting into reverse t3, hence the weight gain - have you had your reverse t3 looked at? Also, you may need a higher dose, or, lower t4 dose and add t3 (liothyronine), or go on t3 only all together. Make sure your cortisol levels and iron are on point. Sometimes, we don’t absorb the medication properly because of poor diet choices, too.. some need high doses because their cells aren’t receiving the hormone.

The lab tests for thyroid levels are lousy! Just take your underarm basal cell temperature under both arms first thing in the AM before you even sit up in bed - ideally with an old fashioned mercury thermometer. Normal temp for this test is 97.6 degrees F. If it is in the 96s or 95s you DEFINITELY are hypo-thyroid. Likewise if it is mid 98s and above you are hyper-thyroid. Do it under both the left AND right arm because each side of our body is different. This test will detect abnormal thyroid levels before the lab tests that you pay for will even begin to. Both Dr. Balch in *Prescription for Nutritional Healing* and before Balch's book was out, Dr. Linda Page's *Healthy Healing* had been out for decades with new editions regularly coming out and they all recommended doing this test.

Question, how do you adjust medication if doctor says your levels are great. Took me 15 years and a insurance that would no longer pay for Synthroid just to get something different. I actually felt better when my levels were hyper, except for the jetters, I had. I feel like I need to be bumped the lowest dose and would be great. I do better when my T3 is 4 and it is 3 now. The highest normal is 4.1 with the lab my doctor uses. But he says based on my labs I am great even though I told him I felt like I needed a slight amount more. Even that much off the fatigue is real, that joint pain, and always some sort of injury with my feet when my levels are off just a hair.

[@lauramortick7600]

Can’t help with the doctor part, but Walmart fills synthroid for $4 per month, even without insurance.

[@RationalNon-conformist]

Make sure you look at your reverse t3 levels, too.

I have overactive thyroid and i haven't lost any weight for a month. I don't eat much at all. I can't eat much tbh. I feel like crap on 10mg carbimazole. Could it be i was over but now I'm not and I'm taking meds that are making me hypo? Cos tbh i feel like crap on these tablets. Much worse than before i ever took them. I suspect i was over at least a month before my blood test due to symptoms. I felt fine really apart from the reflux and slight anxiety that has now become major anxiety. I don't want to stop my treatment but i feel as sick as a dog taking these tablets

[@amyshort4681]

Can you speak to those who’ve had VSG surgery? I have half a thyroid and VSG a year and half ago, am on synthroid and the weight isn’t budging. It’s hard to eat a enough calories.

What are the good thyroid medication for weight loss?

[@Josiewankanobe]

t4/t3 combo medications , Levothyroxin and lirothyronine or Armour NDT.

[@gotit775]

@@Josiewankanobe thanks so much!

[@Josiewankanobe]

⁠@@gotit775lso please read the book stop the thyroid madness by Jeanne Bowthorpe. In addition to listening to as many Dr. Weston child’s videos as you can before seeing your doctor. Doctors have a tendency to try to talk you out of taking T3 with T4 and they also sometimes discourage Armour. Find a DO or a nurse practitioner they tend to be more open to this protocol. Dr. Childs is talking about. You have to know what you’re talking about before seeing a doctor I can tell you that from experience.

[@brendaortiz4615]

My thyroids were removed and I started eating more healthier I am praying that it will work because am getting super discouraged

[@Josiewankanobe]

@@brendaortiz4615 wow definitely read Stop the thyroid Madness book. that book will help you understand what your labs need to be without a functioning thyroid. Dr. Childs has videos on that as well I believe. Please don’t give up as it is possible to find a DO or a nurse practitioner who is open to this type of protocol. The book will help greatly, and also watching Dr. Childs videos he has had podcast with the author, who wrote the book I mentioned.

Good day, I would like yo ask for your advice. I have visited two endocrinologist and diagnosed with multi-nodular goiter with the size of 1.4 cm here in Japan (by Japanese doctors). I was told no need to worry and it is benign and they told there is no medication is required. If my goitre becomes bigger then they suggest to be operated. I am at loss because, my siblings got treated with medication, when they had the same problem (they got treated in the Philippines). I was wondering for years bow why I am gaining weight even if I am not eating that much and doing a lot of workouts. And nothing is helping. I am frustrated because somehow the doctors in Japan are not helping at all. Could you please give me any suggestions or advice please. Is there a medication for this other should I to do an operation instead? Please I need your honest advice. Thank you.🙏

VERY HELPFUL 👌. Could you maybe do a video on protein powders? My struggle to eat meat is great. I grew up vegan so I never acquired a taste for it but I won't touch vegan garbage of any kind. They're loaded with pesticides that also cause thyroid problems. I do eat meat sometimes but I also drink isolate. Is isolate good for thyroid and weight loss?? I buy clean isolate with only that one ingredient but I've heard so many mixed stories about protein powder and weight loss. Some info on this topic would be SUPER 🙏🙏😊😊

Ummm I've had hypothyroidism since 2007 and lost 60lbs between April 2016 and December 2017 and have kept it off so clearly exercising more and eating less CAN work ror weight loss in hypothyroid patients. Also too much hormone causes side effects such as headaches.

I was told in medical assistant school that once you start taking one medication for your thyroid, you cannot change it and must stay on the same formula for your drug the whole time. Now you're saying the opposite. Which is true?

[@drwestinchilds]

You can absolutely change thyroid medication formulas and many people can get off thyroid medication completely.

[@laurahesser4069]

"Fixing your thyroid"....sir...I HAVE NO TYROID!!!!! IT IS GONE, IT DOES NOT EXIST. "Thyroid function"...again, MY THYROID CEASED TO FUNCTION THE MOMENT IT WAS REMOVED FROM MY BODY. Once I hear about Thyroid support and improve thyroid function or whatever, I stop listening. I don't have a thyroid to improve or function.

[@zarasbubble1748]

Is there a chance that MAYBE it was not the video for you? Obviously, if there is no thyroid you’re on a combination medication like cytomel or at least T3 replacement . The part about improving your numbers and monitoring them still applies. The improving function part, maybe look into whether or not some of the supplements or advice still work to rather than improve the thyroid function, to improve how your body processes, absorbs and uses the replacement hormones. Sometimes we need to listen and try to extrapolate info. Especially about conditions where most doctors don’t give you anymore info than: yh, your TSH is fine at 5.3, you don’t need medication, support or any other blood tests.

Maybe get your thyroid levels checked, you may need a medication adjustment. It’s a hyper response.
