The Hypothyroid Diet Breakfast

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


The goal of the hypothyroid diet is to optimize metabolism. And the best way to jumpstart your metabolism everyday is with breakfast. If you're currently not eating breakfast, start!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it's the first meal of the day, and, it's the first meal since you started your fast. What fast?

Breakfast is very important because it is the first meal of the day. A healthy morning meal will help in ensuring that you keep your weight in check.

This is because your basal metabolic rate is at its highest point in the morning hence speeding up the process and a healthy meal will boost your metabolism.

However most people are not aware of this and end up not having breakfast but give more value to lunch and dinner.

So, what does the ideal breakfast look like for someone with hypothyroidism?

It is important for the nutritional plan to consist of mineral selenium because it has a direct impact to the hormones produced by thyroid. Include Brazilian nuts, tomatoes and onions in your meals because they contain selenium.

Food with iodine like oatmeal, hazelnuts, cinnamon among others should be included in your early morning meal.

Vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots should also be included in your meal as they contain fiber and antioxidants which reduce the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Fruits that have this mineral include pineapples, mangoes and strawberries which can be put on the side.

The thyroid glands are responsible for releasing hormones necessary for the performance of the body system.

Sugar is important though it should be minimal in your diet. However carbohydrates should be consumed on a moderate level as they may have negative effects on your system like constipation.

Consulting a physician is also important as he or she will help you in knowing which plan suits you.

Fatty meals will have a negative impact on your body for example they may lead to inflammation of the body system, high blood pressure and high levels of cholesterol in the body.

Eat fortified cereals, lentils among others instead of fatty meat.

Too much sugar will lead to weight gain. Avoid taking soft drinks like soda, processed juice and food stuffs like cakes and cookies during meals as it may not check on the reduction of some of the symptoms or signs.

If the egg makes you squeamish, or you're afraid of getting sick, you don't need to use an egg. I add it by choice for more fat and protein.

Don't be afraid to experiment by adding veggies and herbs.

It also important to take water especially when taking your medication instead of taking juice or soft drinks like soda.

Happy blending.
