The 2 Miracle Foods that will:
1. Restart your sluggish thyroid
2. Make your body melt unwanted fat
3. Triple your energy!
Discover two breakthrough techniques that supercharge your
thyroid
so you melt fat fast. They've already helped frustrated dieters
like
Cristina, Carine, and Gail lose weight that once seemed unbudgeable.
And
the best part of all: These amazing tricks are easy.
Latin talk-show sensation Cristina
Saralegui
has known for years she has a sluggish thyroid. "My mom, my
daughter
and I all have a borderline thyroid condition," says the star. So
it's no wonder that Cristina also has a long history of weight
woes.
She's not alone.
According to experts, underactive thyroids
are responsible for making one in every four women fat and tired.
And while even those taking thyroid medication often continue to
struggle
with spare pounds, what's worse is that 50% of those affected are
undiagnosed
or, like Cristina, receive no treatment.
Yet Cristina---whose weight problem reached
its worst at the onset of menopause, a time of roller coaster hormones
that typically worsens problem thyroids---is newly slender and
otherwise
symptom-free.. The reason? Well, it turns out the Havana
native's
best pal, singer Gloria Estefan, dished out some diet advice now proven
by the University of Illinois researchers to work thyroid
miracles.
"For years, I was a ball of fat, and then all of a sudden, I was like,
'Oh, my gosh, I'm melting!'" Cristina recalls, "My energy level
went
up to the sky, and I went from size 16 to a 10." After so much
struggle,
she hit on the right thyroid remedy, and arriving at her happy ending
was
easy.
The same was true for Las Vegas mortgage
lender
Carine Werner. While Carine used a different approach than
Cristina,
the mom of two shed 30 pounds gained after developing a thyroid
condition
called Hashimoto's disease. "I feel great, and I'm actually eating a
lot
more now---and I have no fear of gaining weight," she says. "I'm
amazed by how simple the solution was. If only I had known
sooner!"
Do Cristina and Carine have secrets you should
know sooner rather than later? Could your thyroid be to blame for
your low energy and unwanted pounds? Read on...
Two thyroid breakthroughs everyone
should know
about.

The thyroid gland lays across our throats
like an
open-winged butterfly. It is, in essence, the thermostat
responsible
for regulating all the chemical processes that run our bodies, explains
Glenn S. Rothfeld, M.D., author of Thyroid Balance. When
the
thermostat is set just right, everything hums along nicely, and we look
and feel great. But when it's set too low---a malfunction caused
by anything from hormonal changes to stress or illness---all chemical
processes
slow. Most notably, the rate at which we convert calories and fat
to energy slows, and we end up fatigued and ever plumper.
Of course, weight gain and weariness can be
brought on by lots of factors---which is why underactive thyroid , or
hypothyroidism,
is so easy for doctors to miss, Dr. Rothfeld says. Should
you
be tested by your physician? It's a good idea if you have
difficulty
losing weight, particularly if accompanied by low energy and one or
more
of the following: flaky or dry skin, headaches, depression or
mood
swings, constipation, insomnia, hair loss, high cholesterol, difficulty
with concentration or memory, or difficulty staying warm.
Dr. Rothreld does caution that blood tests
are often inconclusive or fail to catch the condition altogether.
So let's say your tests are normal, but your intuition tells you
something's
wrong. Or maybe your tests are abnormal, but thyroid medication
does
little to improve your weight problem. The good news!
You now have two simple nonprescription options. Wisconsin mom
Gail
Karczewski whisked off 26 pounds even though her thyroid has always
seemed
fine! Experts agree these strategies are great for just about
everyone
to try...
(1) The thyroid-stimulating diet switch

One reason most diets don't work for
those
with sluggish thyroids: "Typically, caloric restriction reduces
thyroid
function, slowing the metabolism even further and makes it even harder
to lose weight," says Donald Layman, Ph.D., a professor of nutrition at
the University of Illinois. Fortunately, Layman and his research
team discovered a way to get your thyroid to cooperate with your
weight-loss
efforts: feed it more meat, poultry soy and eggs.
Why?
As the scientists were conducting tests to determine why protein-rich
diets
increase metabolism, they learned that improved thyroid function may be
the key.
"Dieters getting about 30% of their calories
from protein had normal levels of thyroid hormone circulating in their
blood, while those getting just 15% from protein had decreased levels,"
says Layman. And those higher thyroid levels among the
high-protein
group allowed them to lose a whopping 200% more weight than the low
protein
group! Dr. rothfeld says a form of protein called tyrosine
deserves
credit for the magic: "Thyroid hormone is largely made of
tyrosine.
The more protein you get, the more tyrosine available to produce the
thyroid
hormone."
Though she had no idea she was doing her
thyroid
a favor at the time, Cristina is thrilled with the results of cutting
back
on carbs and getting more protein. "Gloria told me not to eat
white
carbohydrates like bread, potatoes and pasta after 5 p.m.," she says.
"Many
people I know use this trick, so I figured, Why not? I made one
big
switch. Every night after I was finished taping my TV program, my
family and I would eat my favorite Japanese food---rice and
tempura.
When I began eating just the fish, I started losing weight really
fast,"
She also began gaining energy, which she used to speed her weight loss
even more. "I jump on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes, four
times a week. When I finish, I feel like Superwoman!"
It's.a
strategy, says Dr. Rothfeld, that helps restore metabolisms damaged by
years of poor thyroid function. Adds Cristina: "I'm a size
10 now, but I still have my size 8 dresses, and I'm keeping them
because
I'm sure I'm going to get there!"
(2) The miracle oil that boosts
thyroid function
As more and more studies began
demonstrating
the fat-fighting, health-restoring benefits of ordinary coconut oil,
Bruce
Fife, N.D., was so impressed, he stopped seeing patients and joined the
ranks of coconut oil researchers. When he first spoke with folks who
claimed
the oil had cured them of all their thyroid related symptoms, he
suspected
it could be the placebo effect---they got better because they believed
they would. But soon his investigation revealed this startling
truth:
regular consumption of coconut oil effectively reverses hypothyroid
problems,
compensating for a slowed metabolism and other system failures as it
stimulates
the production of more and more thyroid hormone. "I'm now doing
studies
to determine if it's safe to give up thyroid medications and simply use
coconut oil instead," says Fife, author of Eat Fat, Look Thin,
who
recommends we each get three tablespoons of the stuff a day.
"Since
it's a food and not a drug, it's free of side effects and is safe and
smart
for everyone." In fact, he urges you to give it a try even if you
don't have thyroid problems. That's because University of
Colorado
research has found coconut oil can increase your calorie-burning power
by up to 50%. Separate studies have found that by substituting
coconut
oil for other plant based oils in your diet---which actually block the
secretion of thyroid hormone---you can lose 36 pounds a year without
dieting.
The reason coconut oil works these
wonders?
It's made of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) instead of the long-chain
variety found in other vegetable-based fats. Because MCFAs are
smaller,
they're digested very quickly, creating a heat that stimulates the
metabolism
and restores proper enzyme activity. Yet at the same time,
because
MCFAs are incinerated rapidly, they bypass phases of digestion where
they
might otherwise be stored in fat cells.
Carine started using coconut oil after she
tried Atkins, Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. "I didn't lose any
weight on any of them," says the 33 year old, who turned to the
Internet
after she was finally diagnosed with a thyroid condition. I came across
www.coconut-info.com
. It described my feelings to a tee---tired, scattered, depressed,
overweight---so
I got myself some coconut oil." Stirring it into a protein drink
each morning, "right away, I had so much energy. The first week,
I lost five pounds, and then two pounds a week after that.
Getting
ready in the morning used to be a chore---now I pop out of bed. I
even wore a bikini this summer!"
Gail heard about coconut oil from her
mom.
"I had been trying to lose weight since my hysterectomy a year
ago.
I was even starving myself, and nothing was happening," she says.
"Then my mom mentioned that her boss had lost 10 pounds just by using
coconut
oil. I figured it couldn't hurt!" It didn't. Making
everything
from sauteed veggies to donuts with her coconut oil, Gail began losing
so quickly---about five pounds every week---that she actually worried
she
was slimming too fast. "In six weeks, I was 26 pounds
smaller.
I've tripled my energy---and I don't have to lie on the bed to zip my
pants
anymore -- Liliana Martinez & Danielle Schlass
When all is said and
done I would

since
I added Adrenal Formula (Dr.
Christopher's)
to my regimen.
