The Hypothyroid Weight Loss Struggle

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


If your hypothyroid weight loss program is not working, it is time to try the recommendation made below and see tremendous results.

As you know, one of the most common symptoms of hypothyroidism is weight gain, and, if your thyroid is running at half speed, how can you lose weight?

Common suggestions for such a condition have been diet and exercise. This is a treatment dimension that will be discussed in another platform. It is recommended that you get proper treatment though this is not easy.

The experience and expertise of your doctor determines whether you get a solution or not. The dilemma becomes how to identify the right doctor. The solution lies in the answers given for the following questions.

How often will you test my thyroid if I need medication?

New treatment should commence after monthly tests are satisfactory.

What choices do I have regarding treatment if I am diagnosed with hypothyroidism?

There are multiple treatment options that are determined by drugs.

How many types of thyroid problems are there?

There are two types of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's and primary hypothyroidism.

Will my thyroid require antibody testing?

Patients with Hashimoto's must be tested unlike primary variety.

How do you treat the immune system?

Hashimoto's hypothyroidism requires immune support which necessitates such tests.

What is the effect of eating habits on improvement or deterioration of the condition?

Diet is vital for persons pursuing hypothyroid weight loss.

Having identified a professional physician to work with, the experiments on treatment begin. The discrepancies in response to medicine are brought about by the fact that individual biochemistry differs. The reaction after similar dosages and procedures differs.

Years ago before testing was available, doctors determined if treatment was working by what their patients told them. Today, doctors are armed with sophisticated testing, yet the best evidence to determine if your treatment is working is your testimonial. This is why it's so important that you are aware of how you're feeling.

Hypothyroid weight loss happens in a concealed way alongside other indicators. This depends on the nature of treatment you are currently undergoing. It calls for close attention to your feeling on daily basis. The obsession should not be on the changes happening on the scale.

List all symptoms that were bothering you before treatment and make note of them and grade them. Then, during treatment, grade your symptoms and determine if you're getting better.

It is unrealistic to expect drastic changes in the body within the first week of treatment. They begin to be felt after several weeks. The doctor must be notified if no changes are witnessed. A doctor who listens to your testimony is the best. If he does not, it is advisable to change.

Weight gain or loss and hypothyroidism are related. This means that you should not be obsessed with the changes happening on the scale. Many people have been frustrated because they never saw change on the scale after extensive exercise and strict diet.

Your hypothyroid weight loss struggles and other symptoms will improve with the right treatment. However, your other symptoms will improve first, so focus on them to determine if you have the right treatment.
