Healthy lifestyle

By healthfoodshmealthfood - 17/11/2011 14:34 - United States

Today, after years of training myself to crave healthier foods in order to lose weight, I found out that some of my favorite health foods actually aggravate my hypothyroidism, and indirectly reduce my metabolism. Broccoli and soybeans are making me fat. FML

Soy is in so many processed foods. But it really should be avoided by anyone who is trying to lose weight, as it has many estrogen-like effects.

Go get your thyroid removed and use HCG and do the HCG diet. You'll lose weight in no time.

She has hypothyroidism, meaning her thyroid isn't secreting enough thyroid hormone. What good would removing it be? I've never heard of a thyroidectomy being done as weight-loss surgery. You should write it up. I'm sure all the medical journals would be clamoring for your data.

Note to self: take irishman1989's idea and become the leading doctor on the subject, then bring in the money. (evil laugh)

12 - I get the feeling you don't actually know what a thyroid is.

Instead of training yourself to "crave" things why don't you just eat them out of free will?

I guess I wasn't aware you could train yourself to crave food that taste like shit. Sounds handy. How do I begin?

I actually love broccoli! I used to not like it when I was younger, but I love it now. :)

Uh huh... sure... I think it was the twinkies and pints of ice cream in between each bite of broccoli that made you fat.

You got that from experience with yourself?

@12, you need to have HYPERthyroidism, as in extra thyroid hormone, to lose weight, removing the gland that releases that hormone to acheive an end goal of losing weight makes no sense.
