If a particular supplement helps, you may want to try another as well
(Weight-bearing exercise replaces fat with muscle. Then add exercise. (But trying too many at the same time means you won't know which ones are really working.) After a few weeks, if you feel that you've found a decent way of eating, try one supplement to see if it helps speed weight loss, or curbs cravings, or reduces hypothyroid symptoms. For example, start with dietary changes. With an interest in lower-fat, higher-protein red meat and with increasing concerns over mad cow disease, buffalo has become a more attractive option.
One of the least familiar meats on the recommended list may be buffalo, also known as bison. That means staying away from meats that are high in saturated fats. When choosing proteins, your objective is to choose lean proteins. This chapter looks at the best types of foods to eat in each category, some meal ideas, serving sizes and portions, and delicious, healthy recipes. Now that you know about the plans and what general categories of foods you should be eating, what specifically should you eat? Particularly for thyroid patients, who may have more early results in building muscle than in losing pounds, keeping track of measurements can provide important feedback and may even provide incentive on those days or weeks when you don't see much movement on the scale. Hopping on a scale to keep track of weight loss is important but not as important as keeping track of measurements. Ultimately, you'll arrive at a combination of approaches that will work best for you. Muscle takes up far less space than fat, so you may lose fat, gain muscle, and show less change on the scale than you do in terms of inches lost.)
