0 Resolving The Hypothyroid Weight Loss Struggle

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


If your hypothyroid weight loss results are dismal, this will be one of the most important messages you'll ever read.

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 choice of the physician to handle your thyroid treatment is crucial in finding a solution. The issue then becomes how to get the best physician. You are required to be armed with appropriate questions. The questions include.

How many tests will you carry out on me before recommending medication?

New treatment should commence after monthly tests are satisfactory.

What are my treatment options if I have hypothyroidism?

You should have more than one option when it comes to drugs.

What are the different manifestations of thyroid complications?

Hypothyroidism manifests in two ways, primary and Hashimoto's hypothyroidism.

Will my thyroid require antibody testing?

It depends on the type of condition you have since Hashimoto's requires such a test.

How do you treat the immune system?

If you have Hashimoto's you NEED immune support.

Do certain food varieties make the condition better or worse?

Diet is vital for persons pursuing hypothyroid weight loss.

The experiments will begin immediately after identifying the right doctor. The experimentation part is necessary because each patient has unique biochemistry. The reaction of each person to similar medical procedures and dosage is different.

Previously, doctors relied on response given by patients to determine if a certain treatment package was working. Testing environment has changed with the availability of sophisticated technology. Technology does not provide conclusive evidence compared to a personal testimony. This calls for full awareness of the effect the procedure is having on your body.

Hypothyroid weight loss changes will occur subtly along with your other symptoms, assuming you have the right treatment. So, you need to pay close attention to how you feel day in and day out. Do not get obsessed with watching 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.

Hypothyroidism and weight are closely tied and so focusing on changing figures on the scale is not necessary. Failure to see change despite exercise and diet will only lead to frustration.

Proper treatment will offer a solution to hypothyroid weight loss struggle. Improvement will be felt on other symptoms first. This will be a determinant of effectiveness of current treatment.
