    Here are vital recommendations for people struggling with hypothyroid weight loss issues that have refused to go away. The results are tremendous.

    Most people with hypothyroidism report additional pounds as one of the symptoms. This is because you cannot shed any pounds if your thyroid is not operating maximally.

    Exercise and diet are an obvious recommendation for people struggling with such a problem. This recommendation is addressed in another forum. Getting treatment is a reliable option though not as easy as it sounds.

    However, before you can get the right thyroid treatment you need the right physician. So, how do you find THE best doctor? By asking the right questions. Here are some good questions to start with.

    How many tests will you carry out on me before recommending medication?

    You should be tested monthly when starting a new treatment.

    What are my treatment options if I have hypothyroidism?

    There are multiple treatment options that are determined by drugs.

    In how many ways do thyroid problems manifest?

    There are two types of hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's and primary hypothyroidism.

    Is antibody testing part of thyroid treatment?

    This will determine if you have Hashimoto's.

    How do you treat the immune system?

    Hashimoto's hypothyroidism requires immune support which necessitates such tests.

    Do certain food varieties make the condition better or worse?

    Diet is vital for persons pursuing hypothyroid weight loss.

    Once you think you have the best doctor, the experiment begins. It's an experiment because your biochemistry is different from others. Therefore, your body can react differently to the same medication and dosage compared to someone else.

    Years ago before testing was available, doctors determined if treatment was working by what their patients told them. Today, doctors are armed with sophisticated testing, yet the best evidence to determine if your treatment is working is your testimonial. This is why it's so important that you are aware of how you're feeling.

    Hypothyroid weight loss happens in a concealed way alongside other indicators. This depends on the nature of treatment you are currently undergoing. It calls for close attention to your feeling on daily basis. The obsession should not be on the changes happening on the scale.

    List all symptoms that were bothering you before treatment and make note of them and grade them. Then, during treatment, grade your symptoms and determine if you're getting better.

    The changes are not drastic but it is possible to feel the effect within weeks. Notify the doctor if no change happens so that treatment can be changed. It is paramount that the doctor listens to you otherwise you have a right to look for another one.

    Hypothyroidism and weight are closely tied and so focusing on changing figures on the scale is not necessary. Failure to see change despite exercise and diet will only lead to frustration.

    Proper treatment will offer a solution to hypothyroid weight loss struggle. Improvement will be felt on other symptoms first. This will be a determinant of effectiveness of current treatment.
