I recently found out that I have a thyroid problem, I learned this through my Chiropractor, who is also a nutritionist. She put me on supplements and a special diet to heal my thyroid. I agreed to go along with it for as long as I could, in hopes of healing and getting my life back to normal.
The diet eliminates all dairy, soy and wheat. You cannot have anything with high fructose corn syrup, or aspartame in it. (low calorie sugar, like sweet-n-low or splenda) When my doctor told me this, I was a little shocked, I live on ice coffee, chocolate and Diet Coke! I didn't have a clue about what I was going to eat for the next 6 weeks. I had my doctor make a list of the things I couldn't have and a list of the new foods that I would be eating for the weeks to come.
When I got home, I immediately got on the computer to try and make sense of this new way of eating. I was surprised to find out that it was an actual
diet, not just a way to heal my thyroid. I came across this website
http://www.thedietsolutionprogram.com/. I watched the free video, it was loaded with information and answered a lot of the questions I had lingering in my mind. It finally all made sense to me. I ended up buying the ebooks to this diet, they are full of recipes, workouts, shopping lists and everything you need to know about eating healthy. I will be happy to share all the information with you if you are interested.
I have been on the "thyroid healing diet" for about 3 months and have lost 25 pounds! Some of the weight loss is from my thyroid healing and now working properly. The rest of it is from this new way of eating. I finally have hope that I will regain my cute body back someday. I know my body will never be exactly the same as it was B.C. (before children) but I do believe, that one day, I will be able to walk by a mirror and not be afraid to look at the reflection looking back at me.
