The Hypothyroid Diet Vs. Low Calorie Diets

The Hypothyroid Diet Vs. Low Calorie Eating Plans

How does the hypothyroid diet compare to a low calorie diet?

If you have hypothyroidism, there's a good chance that you're struggling to lose weight.

Weight gain is a very common sign of this condition. When this is not the sole symptom of hypothyroidism, it is considered to be a very telling development.

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

Like most people who have hypothyroidism, you probably attempt to drop pounds by dieting. The most common type of dieting is to implement an eating plan that is low in calories.

Diets are problematic when people repeat them or focus solely on cutting their caloric intake.



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 onset, the numbers on the scale will start to drop - which causes people to become optimistic.

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 you go OFF the diet due to frustration.

The results include a few pounds of weight loss, immense frustration and a lowered metabolic functioning.

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%.

When you go off the low calorie eating plan and return to your normal way of eating things start to change.

At this point, your body has a lower metabolism because of dieting. However, you resume your old eating habits. Now you will regain the weight you lost, plus more.

Frustration!

It could take several years for the body to regain its normal metabolic function after calories have been cut dramatically. This is why low calorie eating plans are dangerous.

The hypothyroid diet on the other hand optimizes your metabolism. It enables the body to burn more calories because the body is running 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.

Rather than just restricting calories for a quick fix, you should consider optimizing your body's metabolism by using a program like the hypothyroid diet.
