The Biggest Pitfall To 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.

A good acronym for diet is "Deliberately Identified, as an Eating Trend". All diets are trends concerning what you eat and drink. In fact, this kind of trend is almost always temporary as those that start diets, usually end up quitting them after a short amount of time. That is why diets should be considered "trends" or "fads".

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.

In order to overcome problems like hypothyroidism one must make permanent lifestyle changes. This is the type of strategy that can bring you long term relief.

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

Sure you'll have to make some sacrifices, but you'll also learn some new and exciting ways to eat that will benefit your health. Think of it as an adventure; you're opening up your body and mind to something that can be life changing, if you accept it as part of your lifestyle.

Diets must include proper mindset if you want any chance of succeeding. When you approach dieting for the reason of losing some fast weight without changing the way you think, you are in for a harsh dose of reality.

To make permanent changes in eating and living you must first change the way that you think.

Thinking about life changes is only the start. You need to consider the kind of thinking it will take to achieve permanent lifestyle changes.

If you have hypothyroidism no diet alone will cure you. However, a lifestyle change along with the right mindset and the hypothyroid diet is a recipe for long-term success.
