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.

Most people with hypothyroidism report additional pounds as one of the symptoms. This is because you cannot shed any pounds if your thyroid is not operating maximally.

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.

However, before you can get the right thyroid treatment you need the right physician. So, how do you find THE best doctor? By asking the right questions. Here are some good questions to start with.

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.

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

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

What are the different manifestations of thyroid complications?

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

Is antibody testing part of thyroid treatment?

This will determine if you have Hashimoto's.

Is testing for immunity necessary?

If you have Hashimoto's you NEED immune support.

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

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!

It is necessary to take note of any symptom that bothered you before seeking medical attention. Ensure that you record their severity. During the process of treatment, you will establish how the symptoms change. This will be a sign of things getting better or worse.

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.

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.
