Hypothyroid

I am hyperthroid and was undiagnosed for a couple years. After diagnosis I got on anti thyroid medicine and gained 10 lbs that have been incredibly sticky. Which causes me to lose motivation -- ("If Im not going to lose the weight, why don't I just eat the dessert, because I don't really gain any more either." My MD said it was slowing my metabolism, like aging 10 or 15 years would and that I needed to figure out how to adjust to eating less. A week or so ago I re started on MFP with renewed motivation. Also I hired a personal trainer and am going twice a week for weght lifting training. I was and am good about lots of cardio (swim, bike and run) but was not so good about weights. So I am hoping the combination will help. Good luck.

I am PCOS, Diabetic, Hypo-Thyroid and suffer from Adrenal Gland Fatigue.

I adopted the Paleo lifestyle and the weight is coming off. Before I had noticeable weightloss though, my body underwent a major healing endeavor and I am off all medications, including Thyroid meds.

I started off on Synthroid and Cytomel and found that Synthroid is a T4 medication and it doesn't really treat the source of the issue. That is why Cytomel was used because it is a T3 medication.

Then I found a natural doctor and she transferred me over to Armour Thyroid which is actually ground up thyroid gland so you are getting everything.

I started researching Coconut oil and how it helps to heal the thyroid and helps with Diabetes control also. I have been able to reverse both conditions now and I am completely off medications.

i have been hypothyroid since puberty and i have researched throughly and so have my parents since it runs very deep in my fam. I am on Nature Thyroid which is as good as armor thyroid anything else is garbage ( docs have given me the other ones before and they only worked for a time and only on the weight part). Most docs wont put you on Armour or nature thyroid because they don't really put the time in to learn about and if they don't know about it it can't actually be right?...right? lol In highschool i hardly ate anything and still i gained weight and tired all the time. I encourage you to read up on it there is way too much to know and i can't write it all down here. Truth is the thyroid gland affects everything in your body so the side effects are pages long. I have no choice but to be an expert on it since that is the only way i can manage it. I go to a speacial hormone doctor that only takes on the really severe cases so i have to be on point about everything im doing.
like; only use floride free toothpaste,( since floride is bad and actually it really shouldn't be in toothpaste in the first place, in Europe and Japan it is banned) , go natural or organic as much as possible( since fake foods help cause the problem), Use all natural sea salts often or colored salts ( lack of real salt is another reason people get this problem or get goiters), use lavendar scented things ( the lavendar aroma is said to be beneficial for people with thyroid problems), the list goes on and on.
It sounds like to me that you don't suffer from extreme hypothyroid but it will only get worse if you don't pay attention to it..personally docs have only screwed me up lol. My mom had hers taken out then her sex glands and now her adrenals are on their last leg.... If one of those glands go out the strain on the others may put your other glands at risk..

most importantly you have to get a really good supply of iodine in your diet everyday cause iodine defficiency is the main culprit!
