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.

Weighing more is a common symptom in most people. For the body to maintain the right weight, thyroids must be operating at maximum capacity.

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.

The choice of the physician to handle your thyroid treatment is crucial in finding a solution. The issue then becomes how to get the best physician. You are required to be armed with appropriate questions. The questions include.

How often will you test my thyroid if I need medication?

New treatment should commence after monthly tests are satisfactory.

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

There are multiple treatment options that are determined by drugs.

How many types of thyroid problems are there?

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

Will my thyroid require antibody testing?

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

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

Hashimoto's hypothyroidism requires immune support which necessitates such tests.

What is the effect of eating habits on improvement or deterioration of the condition?

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.

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.

This won't happen overnight, but you should start to feel better within a couple of weeks. If you feel no improvement, let your doctor know and demand changes. If your doctor refuses to make changes, then you need to find another doctor that will LISTEN.

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.
