Do you have or suspect you have thyroid problems? If you are still overweight even though youve tried diet after diet & you feel tired & sluggish all the time then this book could be your saviour. This international bestseller is a mine of information for both hypothyroid & hyperthyroid sufferers. If you have discovered or suspect that a low-functioning thyroid gland is causing you to pack on the pounds then this internationally bestselling book will be a godsend. It explains that even with medication from your doctor you are still likely to pile on the pounds. To elevate this Mary Shomon has helpfully outlined a number of approaches to help as she recognises that there simply isnt a one-cap-fits-all programme. For example some sufferers are carbohydrate sensitive others find they actually gain weight on an Atkins-type diet or they might find they only lose weight if they lower their calorie levels. The book is also packed with other information: when to eat; thyroid-damaging foods to avoid; metabolism-supporting herbs & supplements; & information on prescription weight-loss drugs. Her case histories make this a friendly & illuminating read too.
