I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Tried everything to lose weight. Any suggestions:??


Answers: Ask your doctor... most likely the meds you are taking are interfering with weightloss. It's a tough battle and I wish you luck. Ask your doctor for a diet and exercise plan designed for those with hypothyroidism.
Begin with checking with your doctor regarding medication levels. Also it would be beneficial to visit a D.O. (doctor of osteopathy) who might be able to closely examine your nutritional health for such issues as ion levels of magnesium and others that might interfere with regulating your metabolism.
Another good question. Sounds like you have a sluggishly functioning gland in your neck. Firstly, if you're taking medications, see if this is playing a role in your problem.
Secondly, try dealing with the other possible reasons why your thyroid gland is not functioning as it should.
If one has mercury amalgam (silver)fillings in their teeth instead of composite resins, this has been known to suppress the normal function of this gland. The other uncomplicated reason is a lack of organic iodine in the diet. Kelp and seafood usually accommodate this issue.
In addition, a sensible diet excluding all junk food and foods loaded with empty calories coupled with a regular exercise program are imperative in controlling one's weight and physical condition.
