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.

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.

Dieting becomes a problem when the diet is either repeated, or the diet focus is restricting calories.



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.

Problems arise, however, when the numbers stop dropping and dieters get frustrated. Many people find themselves tempted to cut their calories even more.

Eventually, frustration causes people to go off their diets.

The result is a few pounds lost, frustration, and a lower metabolism or hypometabolism.

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, dieting has slowed your metabolism. You, however, have taken up your old eating patterns. Now, you are going to regain the lost weight and some extra pounds as well.

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 the performance of your metabolism, your blood sugar will stabilize and your body won't store fat. Inflammation will be lessened because food sensitivities will be gone. You will also have fewer internal 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 cutting calories to drop pounds fast, you should thing about using a program like the hypothyroid diet to start optimizing your metabolism.
