    No I dont but he said soups with water will make the thyroid stop working

    I'm not joking in the slightest about what I'm about to say: Just assume that almost EVERYTHING he told you about nutrition is completely wrong.

    THIS!!!!! and seriously WTF???????

    soups with water make your thyroid stop working. wow. do soups made with a tomato or milk base also make the thyroid stop working? is the water in the soup the contributing factor to a bad thyroid? What if it's chowder? what if the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars? will your inner organs all cease? I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

    MFP quote of the week. This is 110% gold. OP--find a registered dietician when you have questions. Best of luck.

    Kaylandme, I have a thyroid disorder and receive medication to treat this. My physician also does lab testing to monitor my blood work. If your physician has not performed any thyroid tests, to include TSH, then he does not know for sure where your levels are at. Your thyroid can affect the amount of calcium in your blood and you should be receiving an increase in calcium and not a decrease. As for soup, I'd stay away from commercial soups and make your own. Making soup is easy and when you make it, you can make it without any salt or very little. Vegetables, fruit, grains are good for you. If you aren't going to eat foods rich in calcium, consider a supplement if you do, in fact, have a thyroid disorder. Hope this helps you with your journey.

    soup you make yourself? awesome.

    soup you buy in stores? avoid. too much sodium and all the processing kills any nutrition you would get otherwise.

    Very true. What is the difference between a pot roast dinner and beef and vegetable soup? About 8 cups of water.

    Serously, canned soups are not the best choices but it is the ingredients and not the fact that it is soup. Yes, they are convenient and at times can be good when you need a quick hot meal.

    You need to see a Registered Dietician if you want to learn more about a good weight loss plan. Your Primary Care doctor should be able to recommend one. Another possibility, go over to the "Success Stories" section of this forum and stalk the diaries of those who have lost weight in a healthy manner. You will get many good ideas from that.

    My endocrinologist has my thyroid levels on an even keel with the medication he prescribes for me. I eat 2 or 3 fruits a day and soup whenever I feel like it. There are lower sodium soups in the stores, if sodium is an issue. I'd get a second opinion if I were you.

    Soup? Really? Soup is a great way to hit macros and warm up. Stupid is stupid.

    Canned soup is FINE. If you are worried about sodium, there are literally tons of low sodium options.

    How does the processing "kill nutrition"? Please be specific.

    The only thing that makes the thyroid stop working is thyroid disease.

    Processing foods does not make them bad for you.

    Raw/fresh fruits and vegetables contain enzymes that will eventually break the food down and allow it to rot.

    Blanching those foods before freezing is a process that kills the enzymes allowing you to freeze the foods semi-whole and keeping them as close to their natural state as possible. This removes the benefit of you eating the enzyme but does nothing to reduce the nutritional value of the food.

    Canning vegetables (without salt or any added ingredients) does nothing to the food other than cook it so that it lasts longer. It removes things that would cause the food to spoil and seals it in an airtight container to prevent contamination but does nothing to diminish its value. Unless you don't like them cooked.

    The one thing about soup to be cautious of is the sodium content.. make it from scratch if possible!

    I went to a dietician who told me not to eat soup because its not good for thyroid. Is this true? And also he saod dairy prevents the body to burn fat

    I'm sure you've gotten plenty of good advice about how ridiculously stupid your dietician is but....

    So much no.

    Also, on the dairy front. I eat PINTS of gelato in a sitting frequently and went from 35% BF to 17% BF and lost 53 lbs doing so....calling full bs.

    My advice? Get a new dietician!

    OP what was the original request you went to the doctor with? Help with losing weight? Do you have any medical conditions which may require you to restrict certain things (ie sodium, carbs, dairy, etc)?

    LOL at soups with water making the thyroid stop working being the quote of the week. I'm not sure - we have had some doozies this week. Baking Soda is Toxic... How many calories do you burn donating platelets... etc.

    Seriously someone should do a David Letterman Top 10 Quotes of the Week from MFP Forums.
