Your Thyroid and Weight loss ? The Connection is Real | esm Fitness

Your thyroid dictates much of your metabolism, any malfunction or disease afflicting this area may cause you to have problems in metabolism leading to a drastic problem with your weight ? you may either gain weight, lose weight, or may find that losing weight is harder than usual.
Those that plan diets do not take into consideration how their thyroids and metabolism may affect their weight loss program. Most experts and even the media pitch in and recommend that the best way to lose weight is cut calories.
Those with a condition called hyperthyroidism suffer from an overactive thyroid leading to one having his or her metabolism skyrocket. If this is the case, then you will probably lose weight fast. This is a nice proposition for some who wish to lose weight. However, this is actually hazardous to the health.
Aside from the medical difficulties such a disease brings, one will also notice weight problems as a result. These people have trouble keeping on weight and may notice weakness and bulging of the eyes. This disease may need special treatment from doctors.
Hypothyroidism on the other hand works in the other direction ? slowing metabolism until the body gains weight at an incredible rate. Like hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism causes a general weakness in the body. It too may need special treatment and may cause serious health problems if left unattended.
While cutting calories in itself can be very hard for most people ? imagine, the people involved in life and death struggles at the supermarket regarding whether to buy that extra box of sweets, some have exactly the opposite problem.
Instead of eating too much calories ? which is a problem in itself, they eat too little calories instead.
Problem? What Problem
The problem with some is that they believe that since the experts say that they have to cut calories, cutting calories to an inordinate amount will reap greater results. Unfortunately, it doesn?t work that way. While cutting calories helps diets, consuming too little calories pushed the body into a hoard mode, the body?s metabolism slow to adapt to the lesser amount of available energy.
If your body enters this mode, your body will work at such slow metabolism that losing weight becomes impossible. The technique here should be to reduce calories without the body slowing its metabolism. Only then can losing weight become easier.
Another problem that can arise from decreased metabolism is that when your metabolism slows due to a drastic reduction in metabolism, and then you suddenly eat a good, hearty, calorie-filled meal, you are bound to gain more weight owing to the increased surplus of energy.
This is why an imbalanced meal is highly discouraged among those that seek to lose weight. The sudden loss and increase of calories will cause an imbalance in one?s energy consumption directly affecting fat deposit.
Here is a simple computation to help you get to the right amount of calories you will need per day so that you get your nutrients in the right balance.
First of all, multiply your weight in kilograms by 30. If you only know your weight in pounds, divide it by 2.2 to get to its English equivalent. We divide this number by 30 because that is the number of calories you need to maintain your weight per pound of weight.
For example if your weight in pounds is 150, divide it by 2.2. That will give you a figure of 68.18. This is your weight in kilograms. Multiply this by 30 and you will arrive at the amount of calories you will need per day to maintain 150 lbs.
You may consult a nutritionist to help you come lose weight. In the end it all comes down to math. If you consume more that your body needs, it stores it as fat. Now is probably a good time to start studying the back of those grocery cartons.
Try to keep your diet at a 40% protein, 25% fat, and 35% carbohydrate meals at 300 calories per meal. Spread out these meals in a day for optimum results.
While it may be simple computation to get at numbers, do not forget the earlier mentioned fact that the body adapts to its condition. Expose it to extreme ones and you may find yourself getting results you never wanted. Consult a nutritionist for more advice.

The book is called:
?Running SUCKS! How to Run for Fast weight loss ? For Busy Women Who HATE Running?
However, unlike most books about running, this one is short and all ?meat? (with no fluff or filler).
In fact, you?ll read it in less than 15 minutes.
And it?s perfect for busy women who want to lose weight fast, but who hate running and consider it a ?necessary evil.?
There is no suffering involved with these running secrets.
- No grueling long distance jogging (jogging and long runs are forbidden!)
- And no special equipment is needed (you can do them from
home if you want).
Here are some of the secrets you?ll learn inside:
- How to burn fat? while you?re resting! (Not 1 in 1000 ?fitness experts? knows the secret science behind this trick ? but YOU will, and it?ll help you burn fat at nearly twice the rate you would normally.)
- How to breathe during running so you automatically burn more fat and gain more energy at the same time. (Believe it or not, ancient medieval Samurai soldiers did this, and it?s why they were always in such great shape!)
- A little-known way to lose weight while standing almost completely still! (Nothing to do with running, but it?s included as a nice bonus tip anyway.)
- A special way of walking for just 20 minutes per day that can burn 5 pounds of pure fat off your body in just 2 weeks or less. (The good news is, this is easy? the bad news is, it takes 20 minutes per day to work.)
- Why you should never jog if you want to safely lose fat and have a sexy body that?s the envy of your friends. (There?s a reason joggers have ?stringy,? sickly looking bodies and unattractive breasts-it?s actually the same reason why running author Jim Fixx died of heart disease. Here?s a much easier and safer way to run instead.)
- How certain professional athletes get into top shape after letting their bodies go during the off-season. (This is how some of the more undisciplined athletes who get fat during the off-season are able to go from pudgy to slim in time for the season.)
- How to use 2-3 minute TV commercials to turn your body into a fat burning machine! (Best part: This works for almost ANY type of exercise-including biking, stairstepper, elliptical, etc).
- And much more!
Again, a quick, fast read.
It?s NOT meant for hardcore runners or people who enjoy running.
It?s designed for women who hate running and are short on time, but who know how powerful running is for getting into shape.

Imagine losing weight and then having the power to keep it off forever. That is what most people who embark on a weight loss journey are missing ? the power to keep the weight loss ? lost.
Permanent weight loss is not found in what we?ve been brainwashed to believe ? quick fix weight loss diets and extreme fat burning exercise routines. Instead its simply rooted in discovering your compelling reason ?why,? aligning yourself with the Laws of Nature, and mastering your motivation.
You didn?t gain weight fast, so expecting to lose weight fast is not only unrealistic, but one of the false expectations and distractions keeping you from achieving what you really want all along- permanent weight loss.
You?ll learn why this faulty belief in the ?Magic Bullet? weight loss diet or weight loss exercise program is just that ? a faulty belief.
And inside you?ll discover surprising new ways to eat your favorite foods and still lose weight.
You?ll also find that fat loss exercise routines aren?t as complicated as you were led to believe and are actually sometimes dependent on your current lifestyle. You?ll also learn the real role of exercise and how exercise has very little to do with the weight loss equation at all.
More than anything else, you?ll find the hope you?ve been looking for to lose weight and the freedom to keep it off permanently.
Kick-ass argues that we were designed by evolution to cope with harsh conditions; conditions that are no longer present in our environment and that we must therefore seek to recreate in order to restore our body to its more naturally healthy state.
Hunger, like all stresses upon the body, leads to adaptive physiological changes that can, if carefully controlled, confer strengthening effects upon us, just as any exercise can.
Our descent into obesity begins, kick-ass argues, when we relinquish control of how much we consume to phantom hunger. This mild form of hunger conditions us to respond in a habitual way.
When we satisfy these mild pangs of hunger with sweet and delicious snacks we positively reinforce this conditioned response and further lose control. That these delicious snacks are highly calorific only compounds the problem because we are consuming the most of what we need the least. By defying hunger and making conscious decisions about when we eat, we seize back control and begin to break the psychological hold that conditioning has had on us.
But there is also a physiological aspect to overeating which is of equal importance; by allowing ourselves to become overfed for so many years we have brought about physiological changes within our body that serve to reinforce the pattern of overeating we are suffering from. Parts of our body have become exhausted from over-use, other parts have become withered and weakened through under utilisation; to restore our body to the balanced state that evolution intended, we need to rest the parts that have become exhausted so that they may recuperate and exercise those parts that have become weakened by neglect, so that they can become more effective.
Our bodies have become used to storing fat and are therefore very good at it; what our bodies forget is how to burn it again. Through a program of controlled hunger we re-educate our bodies to burn fat as readily as we store it. In conjunction with our new found control over our Hunger Monster, we are able to hunger exercise ourselves back into shape, just as we might exercise our muscles into shape after years of neglect.
The kick-ass approach to weight control will show you how to kick your own ass, enjoy doing it, and come out in better shape than you ever dreamed possible.
