Your Questions About Foods To Avoid With Thyroid Problems

Donna asks…

If you knew that Soy contains Estrogen, a female hormone, would you still eat those foods?

>60% of Our food contains Soy!

Soy contains Estrogen, a female horomone

Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality

If you’re a woman and consuming food products with soy, you’re flooding your system with a substance it can’t handle in surplus. If you’re a man, you’re suppressing your masculinity and stimulating your “female side,” physically and mentally.

Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!

Research in 2000 showed that a soy-based diet at any age can lead to a weak thyroid, which commonly produces heart problems and excess fat. Could this explain the dramatic increase in obesity today?

P.S.: Soy sauce is fine. Unlike soy milk, it’s perfectly safe because it’s fermented, which changes its molecular structure. Miso, natto and tempeh are also OK, but avoid tofu.
I got this from an article that has cites for the information in the “trouble with soy” links. My family runs a farm that mainly produces soy, because it’s about the only crop that’s profitable. Sure the FDA & farmers would like you to believe it’s a myth..but it all comes down to money & not consumer safety. Also, fast foods along with our favorite Big Macs & Whoppers contain soy.

So your reader’s go, whew, glad I don’t eat tofu. Then go down to sonic for a burger made with textured vegetable protein (soy) & carbs (oh my)

Steven asks…

How many Americans are overweight because of a medical condition?

This is out of scientific curiosity, not hatred. It is no secret that a great deal of Americans are obese and have medical issues as a result (ex. hypoglycemia, diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure etc…), and that is very sad. I’ve had American friends who are overweight and complain about it, but they do not do anything like dieting or exercising to improve their situations. Many people I know spend a lot of time playing online games or watching movies and eat very very unhealthy foods. I have asked about why Americans have gotten so fat, and I’m told that is rude to ask because they have medical conditions. Is it true that Americans are over-run with thyroid problems and the like or are they trying to avoid personal responsibility? This isn’t a thread about being mean to fat people, so I would appreciate it if people would keep hateful comments to themselves. I am asking for medical data as to how many overweight Americans actually do have pre-existing conditions that cause obesity.
Thank you Deanne.

Thyroid Foods answers:

There isn’t any way to provide a statistic on the percent of obese people in America that suffer from obesity as the direct result of a health problem. The reason for that is that not every person who is obese has been to a doctor to be officially diagnosed with a medical condition.

The facts are that 66% of Americans are obese, and that many factors contribute: genetics, medical conditions, environmental factors, etc. It is also true that many health benefits are gained when even as little as 10 – 15 pounds are lost by an overweight person.

By the way, few obese suffer from hypoglycemia (named in your question), which is low blood sugar. Additionally hypertension is the same as high blood pressure. And you forgot another important issue: obesity can lead to cardiovascular problems, such as artherosclerosis.

Mandy asks…

I was losing weight, now I’m stuck. I can’t lose any weight. I lost 45 pounds in 6 weeks…then nothing.?

I started a diet and exercise regiment exactly two months ago. I am under the supervision of my PCP she did lots of tests prior to my starting. She recomended I begin the diet and start exercising because I was weighing 350 pounds and she found I had become hypertensive. I am not diabetic, my colesterol is normal and so is my thyroid. The first six weeks I lost 45 pounds and began to feel great. My starting weight was 350 and I went down to 305 and am stuck there. My blood pressure was down and I could walk and run with out nearly dying(lol). Here is my problem I hit the wall. For the last two weeks I have still been counting my calories and exercising 2-4 times a week for an hour cardio only. I avoid fatty foods, soda, salt/sodium, greasy foods and don’t cook with oil. I try not to consumes more than 1200-1500 calories per day. I don’t cheat on my diet, 3 times per week I allow my self something that isn’t part of my diet so I can still go out with friends and such. I am 20 years old so I think age isn’t a factor. I work nights and in an Emergency Room at that so long hours and little time to eat while working is problem for me. Little sleep is also a problem I have not that I can’t sleep, Simply that I have to sacrifice it to have time for other things. Sometimes I have to got several hours between meals and snacks. Do sleeping patterns and time between meals really affect your weight loss?
Any answer constructive answer would help, I am a ER tech however nutrition is not something I know a whole lot about.
I am 5’8, 20 years old and male.

Thyroid Foods answers:

Ok so first of CONGRATS thats a lot be proud!

But here is the deal, the bigger you are…they faster you can lose…
So now your smaller..its slowing down
the second thing… The less you weigh..the less calories you need.. So although you need more to mantain this weight, you need to lessen calories every 10-15pounds you lose to contain losing at a good pace.

Also going out with friends try to cut that back to once a week(or the other 2 times just have a salad(fat free dressing) or lean meat grilled and baked potato or even better sweet potato with only one pat butter..
Because I was same way as you going out and believe me if you look up those calories they add up like crazy!

Time between meals doesnt really mess with weight loss the thing with that is it helps keeping you from indulging or giving in to something bad because you always satisfied if you dont go to long without..

Try eating some raw almond while at work to boost metabolism..
Also add Benifiber or some fiber supplement to keep you full and regular it jump started my weight loss…

Your Questions About Thyroid Diet Weight Loss Fast

Ruth asks…

Is taking thyroid pills for weight loss safe?

My Dr. has many weight loss patients whom he prescribes thyroid and phentermine. I have done this diet (no carbs-3 months long) before with dramatic results (30 lbs) that I kept off. It works fast and having the results so soon helps my self esteem… But I see concerns for taking thyroid for weight loss, though nothing specific except for the warnings. My doctor has not done a thyroid level check as he believes the thyroid blood levels don’t show what your body is actually absorbing. He has many many patients, most of whom come for his weight loss and diet plan. This is his standard procedure. What concerns should I have with this diet and the prescribed drugs?
This diet isn’t just the medicine. It is a very strict NO CARB diet!

1st 30 days no carbs only meat & cheese’s
2nd 30 days add low carb veggies to diet
3rd 30 days add low carb fruit to the diet

This diet is done along with thyroid medication and an appetite suppressant.
and EXERCISE! i joined a gym and walk 2 miles every other day!
I have done this diet along with the medications once before and lost 40lbs. After i finished the diet and went back to eating what i wanted i gained 10 lbs back. Making a total of 30 lbs I kept off.

Thyroid Foods answers:

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies to your endocrine system.

Do not take hormones unless you are instricted to do so by a qualified endocrinologist. Either too much thrdroxin or too little can caude serious problems. Also, thydroxin levels are regulated by sensitive feedback loops, which can be thrown out of balance, and can affect other endocrine systems, in turn.

Nancy asks…

I changed my diet, and started exercising 3-4 times a week, what can i do to speed up my weight loss?

I’m a 20 yr old female, and I’m pretty heavy. It’s always been a problem for me but recently something snapped and made me really upset about it so I’m doing my best to keep motivated to look better… and maybe even more important feel better, I’m just done being overweight and unattractive.
My diet before was full of fast food and junk, so changing that, although a little hard is definitely seeming worth it already. I mainly buy fruits and vegetables and more fresh stuff in general. No chips/candy/soda, but im not on any sort of diet plan or anything. I do have a thyroid problem– hypothyroidism, which I am on medication for, and recently I signed up for the gym and I’ve been doing an hour of cardio every other day for almost 2 weeks now.
So far I’ve lost about 6 lbs. which is good. and i know if i keep going it’ll keep coming off, but i was hoping maybe there is something, like a specific diet plan, or maybe a natural sort of diet pill, maybe even a different way to exercise, that could help speed my weight loss along a bit?
ANY suggestions would be great!

Thyroid Foods answers:

Well you’ve done a swell job of cutting back on junk food. Most people can’t even take that step…so GOOD job!

Definitely stay with the Natural stuff, even though it’s tempting to have a go at the sugary food.

I would recommend that you use some herbs like Cinnamon (help with thyroidism), Green Tea, and black seeds.

As for exercise, you don’t need to be hardcore…just start by walking 2-4 miles a day (or bicycle 3-5 miles)…keep a bottle of water with you to hydrate yourself.

Sandra asks…

Sudden rapid weight loss. last month I went on a protein diet and lost around 20 lbs, this month I stopped tha?

last month I went on a protein diet and lost around 20 lbs, this month I stopped that diet and went back to my old diet, only I kept losing weight is this normal? I thought after eating like that and going back to an old diet you would gain it back faster. I’m 26, when I was on the diet I also took hydroxycut and ali, is it maybe possible that the hydroxycut gave my thyroid a boost?

Thyroid Foods answers:

It takes several weeks for the body to reflect the diet. On a low carb diet, you deplete glycogen stores. You can not gain fat stores til *after* the glycogen stores are full. It takes awhile for the body to refill glycogen stores, unless you really hit the carbs.

Hypothyroidism Losing Weight Is Hard

Thyroid Foods — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:55:13 +0000

Hypothyroidism losing weight.

If you suffer from hypothyroidism or simply have a “slow” thyroid gland, it is possible that you are having problems keeping your body weight down.

A normal low fat, low calorie diet is not an appropriate way of eating if you suffer from hypothyroidism. What you need to do is nourish your thyroid gland the right way and stop eating the foods that are harming it.

Once detected, hypothyroidism is easily treatable. An appropriate diet has been found to be very effective to treat the condition : eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong foods.

Once you control your hypothyroidism, you will start losing weight.
