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 --
