Your Thyroid and Weight loss – The Connection is Real
By Akanett Web Publishing
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 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.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
Skipping breakfast or lunch won't help you lose weight. Instead, your metabolic rate will drop by 4% to 5% when it needs to be the most active. A good rule of thumb is to eat at least half your daily calories by the end of lunchtime.
Words of Inspiration
Challenge Yourself: Even the most successful people in the world are never completely satisfied with themselves. This is a natural feeling to all human beings and often times drives people to reach their full potential. Unfortunately, the problem comes when self dissatisfaction turns into self doubt. Often, we feel frustrated or discouraged about the past, and we project those feelings of doubt and disappointment into the future. However the future has not happened yet. So it really makes very little sense to be negative about it. The future is full of outstanding opportunities. You are in control of your own future, which is not determined by your past. It is determined by you, and by the actions you take on a day to day basis. Use your frustration and past failures not as an excuse to doubt yourself, but as an opportunity to learn and improve your future. Avoid negative thinking, look past the doubt, and you'll discover bright future. Try to identify your obstacles, and refuse to let them get in your way. Challenge yourself to turn the negative into a positive. In every difficult situation, there is opportunity. In order to see that opportunity and take advantage of it, you must stay positive, and continue to look for it.

Article of the Week
Top 10 Answers to Cellulite: The old theory was that cellulite was caused by toxins building up under the skin but that's probably not true. It's more likely to be the result of poor skin structure, causing the fibre to split. This means fat and yes, possibly toxins squish out through the holes in the fibres creating that lumpy effect. In other words, your bottom is rather like and old mattress with the stuffing sticking out! Chances are the problem is genetic and lies with the x- chromosome (only women have this which would explain why men don't get cellulite). While all this may mean cellulite isn't your fault, reducing its appearance is within your control. Here is a list of top 10 ways to control and manage cellulite. 1. BODY BRUSHING : Some experts claim, this is the key to total cellulite removal, saying, it helps speed up the lymph system to remove toxins from the body. Of course, it depends on the whole cellulite/toxins theory, but as an active lymphatic system helps improve your skin anyway there's no harm in trying it. For the best results dampen your skin then use a firm - bristled brush to stroke each limb briskly in the direction of the heart. Do this twice daily, but be careful- applying perfumed products directly afterwards can irritate. Wait at least half an hour before using any products.

Consider This

Water Is The Most Important Nutrient

Water makes up about 60-70% of your body weight. Water helps to control the temprature of the body and serves a vehicles for moving nutrients to the different parts of the body. Fluid imbalance can lead to several problems in the body including weight gain.

Water Tips

Drink plenty of water. You body needs a lot of water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.

Start your day with a glass of water. Drink a glass of cool water first thing in the morning. It is a wonderful way to start your day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast after that.

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself  full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.

Water also plays an important part in weight control.
