" How
do you lose weight.....
with a slow metabolism or underactive Thyroid?"
Key Factors Affecting your Weight Loss
________________________________
Has losing weight suddenly become more difficult ? Plans or
diets which worked in the past just don't seem to have the same
results ?
Maybe your doctor has prescribed medication (Levoxyl
,
Thyroxine
Synthroid .....) or maybe you are concerned about your Thyroid or slow
metabolic rate. Whatever your position there are some key
practical steps you can take to lose those extra lbs and inches.
1. The importance of Protein and
your metabolic rate
It doesn't seem fair - you have cut down on food, maybe started
doing more exercise, but for some reason you just can't lose that
weight ?
One factor you could consider is one of the 3 key "secrets" to losing
weight : It's not how much you eat, but what you eat that counts.
To get to your
right weight consider how much protein you have in your diet.
Most people have
to many carbohydrates in their diet, but don't have a very
active lifestyle. For example the most common diet tends to consist
of cereals, sandwiches and pasta.
So why is protein so important ?
When you eat the right amount of protein for your body this
will increases lean body mass. (i.e. helps your muscles work at their best). The more lean body mass you have,
the
higher your metabolic rate and the more calories you'll burn - espcially
important when you reach middle age.
Protein + good carbohydrates = success
Your body needs protein to stay healthy and strong, in addition the right
levels of protein for you will also prevent hunger between meals
2. Cut down on calories but not meals.
The key element is to cut down on calories without reducing your
nutrient intake
You need to cut out at least 500
calories per day from your current diet to lose weight. However you need
to make certain that you :
-
Don't starve.
Even though you are reducing your calorie intake never go below 1,000
calories per day. If you then this will signal to your
body that you are in starvation mode, and will slow down your metabolism.
Eat smaller meals more frequently.
Don't skip meals!
Smaller, more frequent meals keeps your blood sugar stable and provides a
steady source of energy to fuel metabolism.
Make sure you eat breakfast.
If you don't eat breakfast, you slow down your metabolism and send the body
into "hoard mode," thinking it's starving because you're
going a long period
of time frequently 8 to 10 hours or more, without food. Try a shake packed with nutrients,
hunger busting soy protein and complex carbohydrates instead of skipping
breakfast.
Top up with vitamins, minerals and nutrients
Your body tends to look for all the essential 'building blocks' it needs to
be healthy and survive. By reducing your calorie intake there is a
real danger of reducing all the essential vitamins and minerals you need. By
"topping up" will you not only feel better, but you will also prevent
hunger.
The
Three Quickest Ways
you can lose weight with an underactive thyroid
1. Fewer Calories
Whatever plan you follow you need to cut out at least an extra 500
calories per day.
However you need to make certain that your diet will consist of all
the nutrients you need, - and
ideally be as healthy as possible (i.e vitamins, minerals, etc.).
The healthier you are, the more success you will have in losing
weight.
2. Protein and Metabolism
If you don't have enough protein in your diet then you are not helping
your muscles work at their best. Especially if you have a slow
Thyroid or metabolism
you need to give them as much help as possible.
Either go on a very controlled diet, calculate each day
how much protein you consume and top up if required or
select a weightloss plan specifically designed for boosting
metabolism.
3. Exercise
A combination of aerobic exercise (running / swimming / cycling....)
and resistance training (weight training) will significantly help your
metabolic rate. (and shape !!)
Don't worry if you don't feel that energetic - exercise does help but
so will the right weight loss plan.
