A PRODUCT THAT HELPS

One of the basics for anyone with a thyroid problem who wants to lose weight is to up your fiber intake substantially. It's hard to do just with foods, so one of the best ways I've found to do this is to add a fiber supplement. My favorite? Dr. Levine's Ultimate Weight Loss Formula, basically a fiber "shake" mix that, mixed with water, makes a zero-calorie shake with 17 grams of fiber per serving!!

About The Thyroid Diet

More than 25 million Americans have diagnosed – and undiagnosed – thyroid conditions, which almost always result in a metabolic slowdown. The Thyroid Diet will help many previously unsuccessful dieters get diagnosed and treated – and proper thyroid treatment may be all that’s needed for you to successfully lose weight.

Even after optimal treatment, however, weight problems plague many thyroid patients. For those patients, The Thyroid Diet identifies the many frustrating impediments to weight loss, and offers solutions--both conventional and alternative--to help.

The Thyroid Diet discusses optimal dietary changes, including how a thyroid sufferer should focus on a low-glycemic, high-fiber, lower-calorie diet, optimal timing of meals for maximum hormonal impact, thyroid-damaging foods to avoid, helpful herbs and supplements, and more.

The book contains several different eating plans, food lists, and a set of delicious and healthy gourmet recipes, developed by Food Editor Jim McCauley. With handy worksheets to use in weight loss tracking, and a special resource section featuring websites, books, and support groups, you’ll find vital help for the millions of thyroid patients dealing with weight problems.

What Readers are Saying

Nothing else has worked in the past and I was more than a little skeptical that anything would work at this point. I must say I haven't even been following it one hundred percent.. But I have already lost about 14 pounds in less than two months! It is amazing. I feel wonderful...I almost don't feel like I'm doing anything that deprives me at all. Thank you Thank you Thank you, a million times. Thank you.
-- Carrie R.

I could not wait for the Thyroid Diet to come out. It certainly was "worth the weight!!" Exactly 9 weeks ago today I weighed in at 144 lbs. Today I weighed in at 121!!! Those twenty three pounds have been with me for almost ten years and nothing was moving them.I had tried Atkins and after some weight loss I would stall on the scale, as soon as I ate again I would gain all the weightback and then some. I loved the diet plans and modified them to my benefit. I watched calories and found out carbs are my worst enemy. I eat healthy food and feel great. I just want to say thank you for all your effort in thyroid information. I receive your news letters and love the updates and am thrilled with the weight loss. You are a very special person. Thank you again.
-- Linda W.

What the Experts Are Saying

Mary Shomon is a powerful force in educating consumers on how to optimally manage the pervasive problem of thyroid disease and now she provides an outstanding extension of her work in her latest book The Thyroid Diet, which is an amazing collection of useful and practical tools to help the 2/3 of overweight Americans finally regain control of their weight.
~ Dr. Joseph Mercola, founder of www.mercola.com, the world's most visited natural health website.

Whether you have an unknown thyroid problem that is impeding your weight loss, or you know your thyroid condition is contributing to being overweight, The Thyroid Diet is essential reading. Mary Shomon offers practical and effective solutions that will help millions finally conquer their weight problems.
~ Stephen Langer, MD, Berkeley, CA author of Solved: The Riddle of Illness and Solved: The Riddle of Weight Loss

Mary Shomon's "The Thyroid Diet" is incredibly comprehensive and will be helpful to every woman who reads it– whether she has a thyroid or weight problem or not. I am most impressed with her loud and clear message to women – trust your own health radar and if you feel that something is just not right – believe it. Don’t give up until you find the answer that uniquely fits you. All too often women are dismissed rather than listened to. Mary gives women the information, confidence, courage to take charge of their own health – and provides the tools they will need to work in partnership with their practitioners.
~ Marie Savard, MD, author of Apples & Pears: The Body Shape Solution to Weight Loss and Wellness

At last, a magnificent breakthrough in the management of excess weight.
~ Richard Shames MD & Karilee Halo Shames PhD, RN, authors of Thyroid Power: 10 Steps to Total Health

Mary Shomon is one of our strongest, most knowledgeable patient advocates. Her capacity, compassion and comprehension shine through in this very usable book. This work on the thyroid and diet is a powerful tool for anyone who has struggled with this disorder. Diet is the thing that can have the most profound effect on health over a lifetime. Even if you are not dealing with a thyroid disorder, you can use this book every day to build a strong nutritional foundation. My congratulations to Mary for creating a striking success in the often confusing world of nutritional therapy. She is logical, organized and consistent. Her approach works.
~ Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa, DN-C, RH, co-author of Herbal Defense, National Executive Officer, American Herbalists Guild

All too many Americans suffer from the physical and emotional trauma of not being able to lose excess weight no matter what they do. Our research in effectively treating patients with fibromyalgia and CFS, which is also associated with an average of 32 lb. weight gain, has shown how dramatically beneficial effectively treating undiagnosed hypothyroidism and nutritional deficiencies can be for both weight loss and feeling great. Mary Shomon is an outstanding advocate for patient health, and you'll find her book to be outstanding as well!
~ Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, author of From Fatigued to Fantastic

Mary Shomon does it again! "The Thyroid Diet" brings you all the latest information on the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease, which is largely unrecognized and untreated. She brings help and hope to millions who have despaired of ever losing weight and regaining their energy.
~ Hyla Cass, MD, author of Natural Highs
