Underactive Thyroid and Protein

 

Thank goodness for protein.....

If you have an underactive thyroid (or slow metabolism) then the diet plan you follow - what you eat & when will make all the difference.

We all know that you need the right amount of protein to stay strong and healthy.

But if you don't eat enough your bodies will steal it from your muscles and organs. In fact, protein is essential for the development of our muscles, which is especially important for an underactive thyroid because it leads to an increase in the burning of calories. our muscles could be described as fat furnaces as they keep our metabolism running high.

Protein and Personalisation

  • Eating the right amount of protein for your body curbs hunger and increases lean body mass.

  • The more lean body mass you have, even with an underactive thyroid you will still have a higher metabolism and the more calories you'll burn

  • Protein + good carbohydrates = success

  • Your body needs protein to stay healthy and strong

  • Remember, not all protein is created equal. 15 % to 35 % of your diet should be lean protein that doesn't contain significant levels of fat

  • Soy Protein is the highest quality plant protein available.  It's an excellent source of amino acids, the building blocks of protein needed by your body. Long-acting and slowly metabolised, it also contains antioxidants to help maintain healthy cells.

Too many fast releasing carbohydrates lead to weight gain

Traditionally we were taught that carbohydrates should provide our body with its primary supply of energy. However, many people have confused fast releasing carbohydrates (pasta, cakes) and slow releasing carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) eating too many of the former-the tempting, convenient, tasty.

Optimize your protein intake and lose weight!

If you have an underactive thyroid you need to remember to:

  1. Eat regular meals spaced throughout the day

  2. Choose slow releasing carbohydrates foods

  3. Increase your intake of live foods (fresh fruit and vegetables)

  4. Identify your body's protein needs and consume

  5.  the amount you need

How much protein do I need?

On average:

  • Women need 100g of protein per day

  • Men need 150g protein per day
