The Hypothyroid Weight Loss Struggle

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


If your hypothyroid weight loss results are dismal, this will be one of the most important messages you'll ever read.

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.

How many tests will you carry out on me before recommending medication?

You should be tested monthly when starting a new treatment.

What are my treatment options if I have 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.

Will my thyroid require antibody testing?

This will determine if you have Hashimoto's.

How do you treat the immune system?

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.

The experiments will begin immediately after identifying the right doctor. The experimentation part is necessary because each patient has unique biochemistry. The reaction of each person to similar medical procedures and dosage is different.

Years ago before testing was available, doctors determined if treatment was working by what their patients told them. Today, doctors are armed with sophisticated testing, yet the best evidence to determine if your treatment is working is your testimonial. This is why it's so important that you are aware of how you're feeling.

Hypothyroid weight loss changes will occur subtly along with your other symptoms, assuming you have the right treatment. So, you need to pay close attention to how you feel day in and day out. Do not get obsessed with watching 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.

Proper treatment will offer a solution to hypothyroid weight loss struggle. Improvement will be felt on other symptoms first. This will be a determinant of effectiveness of current treatment.
