Lose Weight With Natural Thyroid Treatment
If you diet constantly, if you jump from one diet to another, if you exercise regularly and still never lose weight, you may very well have a problem with your thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland controls your rate of metabolism.
Your metabolism determines how fast your body changes food into energy.
A slow metabolism will not only cause you to burn food slowly, it will make you feel tired and sluggish.
One of the problems with a slow metabolism resulting from an under active thyroid gland is that overweight people try to lose weight by consuming fewer calories.
Consuming too few calories can force the body into a hoarding mode where the body tries to conserve energy by slowing even further.
This causes more weight gain and even more fatigue and sluggish feeling.
If your body enters this hoarding mode, it will be virtually impossible to lose weight by dieting.
If you are overweight due to an under active thyroid gland, there is hope.
Ordinary diets will not work in your case.
As we've mentioned, just reducing calories can actually have the opposite effect.
The key is a diet especially designed to increase thyroid activity and turbocharge your metabolism.
Once you increase your metabolism, you'll have a fighting chance at losing weight.
