Weight Loss With Hypothyroidism (You're Doing it WRONG)

If you have hypothyroidism and you are struggling to lose weight, you aren't alone! Many thyroid patients suffer from weight gain and the inability to lose weight mostly because they are following the wrong advice.

If you have low thyroid function or a sluggish thyroid and you're trying to lose weight, here's how to do it:

Step 1. Start with a fresh set of thyroid lab tests. Getting your labs tested first will give you valuable information on how well your thyroid is working.
Step 2. Focus on thyroid function and thyroid medication. Adjusting your medication can have a huge impact on your metabolism.
Step 3. Eat for your thyroid. Focus on eating high-quality whole foods while avoiding processed foods.
Step 4. Improve your gut health. Improving your gut health will have a positive impact on thyroid function. Probiotics and prebiotics are a good place to start.
Step 5. Manage your stress. Because of the connection between your thyroid and cortisol, stress can bring down your thyroid and metabolism.
Step 6. Exercise regularly and stay consistent. Get your heart rate up to 50-70% of max for 20-30 minutes 3-4 times per week.

Using these tips will help you lose weight without running the risk of damaging your thyroid.
