I have thyroid disease, and find it difficult to lose weight. Should I have a special diet?

1 Yes - you should have a diet that is full of iodine enriched foods - like seaweed (try sushi), fresh foods and cut out as many processed foods from your diet as you can. Reduce carbs - the metabolism slows down with a thryoud disprder and weight gain can become a problem so limit foods that are more difficult to burn. You should also look at your exercises routine - with a thyroid problem, it's tougher to lose weight so you need to be doing at least 30 mins of exercise a day in order to lose weight.

There's a great book written by a woman who had hypothyroidism and gained a lot of weight. She came up with a fitness and diet plan that finally helped her to get back to her original size in weeks. Maybe take a look at that ThyroidWeight.com .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
