The Hypothyroid Weight Loss Struggle

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


Here are vital recommendations for people struggling with hypothyroid weight loss issues that have refused to go away. The results are tremendous.

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?

Common suggestions for such a condition have been diet and exercise. This is a treatment dimension that will be discussed in another platform. It is recommended that you get proper treatment though this is not easy.

The experience and expertise of your doctor determines whether you get a solution or not. The dilemma becomes how to identify the right doctor. The solution lies in the answers given for the following questions.

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

The tests are monthly before treatment.

What choices do I have regarding treatment if I am diagnosed with hypothyroidism?

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

What are the different manifestations of thyroid complications?

There are two varieties, primary hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's.

Is antibody testing part of thyroid treatment?

Patients with Hashimoto's must be tested unlike primary variety.

Is testing for immunity necessary?

If you have Hashimoto's you NEED immune support.

Do certain food varieties make the condition better or worse?

Hypothyroid weight loss heavily depends on diet.

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.

Traditionally, the response of patients indicated whether treatment was effective. State-of-the-art technology has brought in testing kits. The evidence is however not conclusive and requires confirmation from patient reaction. One must therefore be fully aware of how the body is responding.

There are other indicators that precede hypothyroid weight loss. The kind of treatment you are receiving determines how your body responds. Observe these signs instead of concentrating on reading the scale.

List all symptoms that were bothering you before treatment and make note of them and grade them. Then, during treatment, grade your symptoms and determine if you're getting better.

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.

Hypothyroid weight loss depends on the nature of treatment you receive. Observe symptoms that indicate change. This tells you whether treatment is effective or not.
