Low Calorie Diet Programs Vs. The Hypothyroid Diet

The Hypothyroid Diet Vs. Low Calorie Diets

How do low calorie eating plans and the hypothyroid diet stack up to one another?

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

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.

This condition should actually be termed hypometabolism because hypothyroidism invariably results in diminished metabolic functioning.

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

The problem becomes when the numbers stop changing and you get frustrated. At this point you may be tempted to eat even less.

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.

When you go ON a diet this can lower thyroid hormone by up to 50%, which equates to a lower metabolism by 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.

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.

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.

When the metabolism is optimized the body will not store fat because blood sugar levels will be stable. There will also be less inflammation once food sensitivities have been eliminated. More importantly, there will be fewer toxins to burden the body.

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.
