Can supplements help you loose weight?

ARE YOU A LITTLE BIT worried that the summer season is upon us? Tried dieting, but it just left you hungry, lacking energy and feeling rubbish?

It’s hard to find the time to exercise and what’s worse, everyone around you seems to be able to eat whatever they like and not put on a pound! Don’t worry, the fight to lose weight and win could be entirely hindered by a high but passable wall.

Your thyroid gland could be holding you back! It’s demoralising and unfair, but don’t despair – it might not be your fault! You could have an underactive thyroid gland.

Do you often feel like you have no energy or enthusiasm? Or do you feel moody or depressed for no good reason? Perhaps you feel the cold in winter and find it hard to get warmed up? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then your thyroid could be the problem. Your body can’t convert calories into energy...

Your thyroid is a small gland located at the front of your throat. It is made up of 2 parts (called lobes) which sit along your windpipe. The job of your thyroid is to convert iodine found in your food into hormones which help to control your metabolism.

Your metabolism is your body’s way of converting calories from your food into energy it can use.

So, when you have an underactive thyroid, your body struggles to convert the calories you eat into energy. And yes, you guessed it, these spare calories are then stored as fat. Even worse, this condition means your body will struggle to get the energy it needs to function properly – this is why you feel tired and run down.

Take action to lose weight!

You’ve probably already been to see your GP, only to be told that there is ‘nothing wrong’ or maybe that you ‘just need to try harder to lose weight’ – not much help! Perhaps you were even given a thyroid test, but the results came back as ‘normal’. The truth is, conventional medicine just doesn’t have a reliable method for testing thyroid function. The fact is, you know something is wrong – so trust your instincts and take action!
