Choosing The Right Hypothyroid Diet Breakfast Plan

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


The goal of the hypothyroid diet is to optimize metabolism. And the best way to jumpstart your metabolism everyday is with breakfast. If you're currently not eating breakfast, start!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it's the first meal of the day, and, it's the first meal since you started your fast. What fast?

Breakfast is very important because it is the first meal of the day. A healthy morning meal will help in ensuring that you keep your weight in check.

This is because your basal metabolic rate is at its highest point in the morning hence speeding up the process and a healthy meal will boost your metabolism.

A meal consists of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Your snacks and 'treats' should also contain all three macronutrients. This will provide your body with sustained energy, not just a quick burst of energy that carbohydrates provide by themselves.

Apart from weight gain another symptom or sign that one is has this disorder is body weakness hence the need to eat food that boost your energy.

If you're like most people you live a busy life and you don't have the time to sit down and eat a big breakfast, even though you should. One of the quickest and most nutritious breakfasts is a fruit smoothie.

Smoothies are great because they're loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Smoothies are super-nutritious, or at least they should be. This is why they work great within the hypothyroid diet.

Iodine is a mineral that helps in creating thyroid hormones hence the need to eat fruits and food with it.

Fruits that have this mineral include pineapples, mangoes and strawberries which can be put on the side.

Creating a great smoothie just takes some practice. Here's an example of one of my favorites.

Eating right is one way of reducing the symptoms and signs of this condition it also ensure that metabolism is boosted in your body hence easy and quick absorption of food in the body.

You can substitute blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for strawberries because strawberries are considered a goitrogen. Berries are great because they're low in sugar and loaded with antioxidants.

If you use a banana, make sure it's small, and use one that's partially green. Green bananas have less sugar.

Hiring or consulting a nutritional expert is important in case one has other medical conditions as the expert will help in planning a proper diet.

A meal comprising of scrambled eggs, low fat yogurt and fruits is good for you. In case you are on medication it is important to take your medicine one hour before taking breakfast.

If the egg makes you squeamish, or you're afraid of getting sick, you don't need to use an egg. I add it by choice for more fat and protein.

A healthy nutritional plan and regular exercises will help you check on the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism since it does not have a permanent cure.

There you have it, the perfect breakfast and a staple of the hypothyroid diet.

Happy blending.
