The Hypothyroid Diet Vs. Low Calorie Diets

How does a low calorie eating plan compare to the Hypothyroid Diet?

If you happen to have hypothyroidism, odds are, you are probably having a hard time dropping pounds.

One of the most prevalent symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain. Even though weight gain is not the sole symptom of this condition, it is the hallmark of this issue.

More truthfully, this condition would be referred to as hypometabolism, because hypothyroidism inevitably results in a low metabolism.

If you're like most people with hypothyroidism, you try to lose weight by going ON a diet. And the most common type of diet is a low calorie diet.

Dieting can become problematic when the eating plan is repeated or when it is focused on strict calorie restrictions.



This is actually an understandable tactic because a lot of people think that they can weigh less by eating less and even though this can work, it usually only works during the early stages of diets.

At the start, the numbers on the scale will start to drop - and this produces optimism.

The major issues arise when these numbers no longer drop and dieters start experiencing frustration. They are usually tempted to cut more calories from their diets.

Eventually, frustration causes people to go off their diets.

As a result, these individuals have lost a few pounds, gained some frustration and created a lower metabolism.

The thyroid hormone is lowered by as much as 50% when people go on low-calorie diets and this results in a lower metabolism by as much as 25-40%.

Everything is different when you stop dieting and start eating like you usually do.

At this time, your metabolism will be lower because of your low calorie eating program. You will nonetheless start eating just like you used to. As a result, you will gain back all the weight you loss and some added pounds as well.

Frustration!

It can take years for your body to resume its normal metabolism after dieting. This is the danger of a low calorie diet.

On the other hand, the hypothyroid diet improves metabolic performance. It allows the body to burn more fat and calories because it will be running a lot more efficiently.

If you optimize your metabolism your body doesn't store fat because blood sugar is stable. There is less inflammation because you have eliminated food sensitivities. And, your body is less burdened with toxins.

People can have more energy, gain mental clarity, have fewer pains and headache, experience improved digestion and lose weight and keep it off.

Instead of dramatically cutting your calories in order to drop pounds fast, you might want to think about boosting your metabolism by going on a hypothyroid diet.
