Have you tried diet after diet and yet the stubborn pounds remain? Regardless of why you gained weight, once youand#8217;re wearing those extra pounds, your metabolism shifts gears, triggering multiple hormonal changes that perpetuate weight gain by making your body resistant to losing weight. The only way to lose weight is to rebalance your hormone systems, and the Thyroid Solution Diet is meticulously crafted to do just that. andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;Ask yourself these questions: Are you always tired? Do you have dry skin and dry hair? Is your hair thinning? Are your hands and feet always cold? Do you have a lack of motivation or are you moody, anxious, irritable, or depressed? A thyroid imbalance could be causing any of these symptoms . . . and your weight gain, too. For decades, researchers knew that the thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck, governed metabolism, mood, body fat, brain function, and even hearing and vision. But the details on how thyroid hormones control appetite, energy, and weight werenand#8217;t clear until recently. Even if you havenand#8217;t been diagnosed with a thyroid condition, or your doctor has told you your blood tests are normal, you might have a subclinical thyroid imbalance, meaning your blood tests are minimally abnormal or borderline. Many doctors ignore these small abnormalities, but losing weight with a borderline low thyroid condition is extremely difficult.

Synopsis
World-renowned endocrinologist and author of the half million-copy bestseller, The Thyroid Solution, now presents his proven program for re-setting sluggish metabolisms to lose weight, improve thyroid wellness, and increase overall well-being.Is your thyroid making you fat? Calorie restrictions and dieting alone can’t fix metabolic problems to help you lose weight if you have a sluggish thyroid or slow metabolism. You need a weight-loss program that includes a healthy, hormone-friendly eating plan that will boost your metabolism, let you shed the extra weight, and help you keep it off. Dr. Arem has treated thousands of patients successfully for weight loss and, now for the first time in The Thyroid Solution Diet, makes available to the public his comprehensive diet plan. With it, you will lose weight, look better, and feel better physically and mentally.
A weight problem is as serious as cancer and heart disease. The Thyroid Solution Diet offers a refined and perfected Mediterranean diet that is higher in metabolism- boosting proteins, high in fiber, and low in high-glycemic index foods. It provides specific recommendations of food combinations to eat at each meal—and foods to avoid—and the right kind of supplements to take to boost your metabolism and reverse multiple hormonal imbalances. Based on extensive medical research, The Thyroid Solution Diet is by far the most well-balanced diet program put forward so far by a medical doctor. No other book available on thyroid, diet, and weight loss is written by a specialist with Dr. Arem’s expertise and specific know-how. And this unique program is effective for weight loss, even if your thyroid function is normal.
