Resolving The Hypothyroid Weight Loss Complication

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?

New treatment should commence after monthly tests are satisfactory.

What are my treatment options if I have hypothyroidism?

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

In how many ways do thyroid problems manifest?

There are two types of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's and primary hypothyroidism.

Will you run an antibody test on my thyroid?

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

How do you treat the immune system?

Patients with Hashimoto's require immune support.

Will eating a certain way make my condition better or worse?

Diet plays a very big part in hypothyroid weight loss.

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

Your weight and hypothyroidism go hand in hand and if you focus on your weight, it will drive you nuts. You will only get more frustrated if dieting and exercise hasn't moved the number on the scale.

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.
