The Hypothyroid Diet Breakfast

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


The goal of the hypothyroid diet is to optimize metabolism. And the best way to jumpstart your metabolism everyday is with breakfast. If you're currently not eating breakfast, start!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it's the first meal of the day, and, it's the first meal since you started your fast. What fast?

Breakfast is very important because it is the first meal of the day. A healthy morning meal will help in ensuring that you keep your weight in check.

If you think about it, you most likely haven't eaten in 12 hours. This is a form of fasting, and fasting can lower thyroid hormone. So, it's crucial you eat a 'real' meal before you start your day. I say 'real' meal because a lot of people start their day with a scone and a cup of coffee, this is NOT a meal, this is a treat.

However most people are not aware of this and end up not having breakfast but give more value to lunch and dinner.

A balanced diet should consist of vitamins, fats, protein, carbohydrates and other minerals which should be eaten in the same proportion.

If you're like most people you live a busy life and you don't have the time to sit down and eat a big breakfast, even though you should. One of the quickest and most nutritious breakfasts is a fruit smoothie.

The diet should also be rich in fiber to help the patient maintain proper weight. Examples include bread and brown rice among others.

Here are some mistakes to avoid when making your fruit smoothie...

Don't add fruit juice. Don't forget to add fat and protein. Don't use goitrogenic fruits/veggies (food sources that inhibit the absorption of iodine). Don't add too many high glycemic fruits (fruits high in sugar).

The thyroid glands are responsible for releasing hormones necessary for the performance of the body system.

Eating right is one way of reducing the symptoms and signs of this condition it also ensure that metabolism is boosted in your body hence easy and quick absorption of food in the body.

Consulting a physician is also important as he or she will help you in knowing which plan suits you.

If you use a banana, make sure it's small, and use one that's partially green. Green bananas have less sugar.

The avocado provides good fat and fiber, this will keep you full. However, you can use coconut or coconut oil, or another source of fat.

A meal comprising of scrambled eggs, low fat yogurt and fruits is good for you. In case you are on medication it is important to take your medicine one hour before taking breakfast.

If the egg makes you squeamish, or you're afraid of getting sick, you don't need to use an egg. I add it by choice for more fat and protein.

However it is important to note that just because one is suffering from this condition does not mean that they have to watch the calories they consume or go on low fat diets.

Ensure that your meal plan does not contain minerals that slow up the function of thyroid. The type of food you eat should not make you gain more weight.

Do not skip this breakfast instead make it to be the most important meal of the day by settling for the right hypothyroid diet.
