The Biggest Problems With The Hypothyroid Diet Or Any Diet

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


The hypothyroid diet is unlike any other diet. It has some very unique concepts specific to hypothyroidism. The diet program is different, but more importantly, so are the needs of the individuals who follow it.

I have an acronym for the word diet, which is -- Deliberately, Identified, as an Eating, Trend. Diets are eating trends, plain and simple. In fact, if you listen carefully to someone who's dieting they will tell you they are 'going on' a diet. If you 'go on' a diet, you usually 'go off' it at some point. Hence, eating trend.

If you approach the hypothyroid diet in the same manner as other diets, you will get similar results, and those results are not good.

People that suffer from hypothyroidism or overactive thyroid are not likely to find any miracle cures. This is a chronic condition that could take some time to improve. However, hypothyroidism can be cured in some cases but it will not come from changing what you eat for thirty days. It is a more complex issue than dieting for a while and then you are completely done with it. You need to enter this with the right kind of mindset.

Your mindset should be similar to this..."I need to make some permanent changes in my life if I'm going to overcome this thing that has disrupted my life."

I'm sure you've heard this before, 'diets need to be a lifestyle change'. Well, this even more important if you have hypothyroidism.

Changing your lifestyle will involve a few sacrifices, and it will not be as simple as most people think. Yet, you will notice many health benefits from your efforts. It is best thought of as an exciting adventure that allows you to journey into areas of the mind and body that you have never been before.

Diets are all about mindset. Those who start the process with the right mindset win. Those who start a diet with the idea of losing a coupe of quick pounds yet hanging on to their old mindset and habits will be disappointed.

Any kind of permanent lifestyle change must first begin in the mind, and then the body will follow along.

It is important to consider the lifestyle changes you need. However, it is far more important to consider the mindset required in order to succeed.

Altering the way you eat will not be enough to cure hypothyroidism. Yet, you can make some lifestyle changes along with a good hypothyroid diet, and it can bring positive long term results.
