 Posted: Tue Dec 11, 2007 9:30 pm Post subject: Hypothyroid and weightloss? |
 |
|
| I am looking for ways to help increase my chances of losing some weight when i have PCO and Hypothyroid. Any ideas would be appreciated. I know about the low carb, high protein eating. Excercising 30 minutes (atleast a day). Would love some ideas for speeding up metabolism and some low carb recipes and stuff like that as well as if there are any diet pills or anything out there that can be taken with hypothyroid. |

| You are doing it all right. Since your metabolism is slower because of hypothyroidism, exercise will help speed it up. The thing that has helped me the most is an appetite suppressant. It keeps my blood sugar more stable so I'm not starving all the time. It has really helped. I've lose several lbs more than I was before I started. |

| Are you on Metformin ER for the PCOS? Many times its the high insulin levels that can make weight loss difficult. I am both hypothyroid and have PCOS with insulin resistance. I got the thyrid stuff right, but I still couldn't lose weight. I found out it had to do with elevated insulin levels. Once on Metformin ER I was able to lose a little weight with diet and exercise.As far as diet, yes reduced carb is good. Also increase fiber. Fiber will make you feel fuller and get things passing through the digestive tract a little faster. Plus fiber helps with constipation, which many who are hypothyroid have.Below is a link for a diet and exercise thyroid forum. |
