The Hypothyroid Weight Loss Struggle

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


If your hypothyroid weight loss program is not working, it is time to try the recommendation made below and see tremendous results.

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?

Well, aside from the obvious recommendations of diet and exercise, which will be covered in another article, you need to get the right treatment. This is not an easy task.

However, before you can get the right thyroid treatment you need the right physician. So, how do you find THE best doctor? By asking the right questions. Here are some good questions to start with.

What is the duration of time that will be needed before test are completed and medication administered?

The tests are monthly before treatment.

In case I am diagnosed of hypothyroidism, what treatment options do I have?

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

In how many ways do thyroid problems manifest?

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

Will my thyroid require antibody testing?

This will determine if you have Hashimoto's.

It the immune system part of the tests carried out during diagnosis.

Patients with Hashimoto's require immune support.

Do certain food varieties make the condition better or worse?

Diet is vital for persons pursuing hypothyroid weight loss.

Having identified a professional physician to work with, the experiments on treatment begin. The discrepancies in response to medicine are brought about by the fact that individual biochemistry differs. The reaction after similar dosages and procedures differs.

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 happens in a concealed way alongside other indicators. This depends on the nature of treatment you are currently undergoing. It calls for close attention to your feeling on daily basis. The obsession should not be on the changes happening on the scale.

The symptoms before commencement of treatment should be noted. The details of such a note include how severe the symptoms are. If treatment is effective, the severity will reduce. This is an indication that the body is responding well. Any other sign indicates a worsening situation.

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.

Weight gain or loss and hypothyroidism are related. This means that you should not be obsessed with the changes happening on the scale. Many people have been frustrated because they never saw change on the scale after extensive exercise and strict diet.

Your hypothyroid weight loss struggles and other symptoms will improve with the right treatment. However, your other symptoms will improve first, so focus on them to determine if you have the right treatment.
