"The New Thyroid Cure" - How to Boost Thyroid Function and Lose Weight with the daily use of Coconut Oil.

Excerpt from Woman's World Magazine, May 20th

Cristina Saralegui, Latin talk-show host, knew that she had a sluggish thyroid. Cristina received no treatment. Her weight became uncontrollable with menopause as her hormones fluctuated. Now however, she is newly slender again and symptom free since her best friend, Gloria Estafan, gave her some dietary suggestions and without effort her energy increased and her dress size went from 16 to 10.

Carine Werner, a Las Vegas mortgage lender, has a similar story. She lost 30 lbs after developing Hashimoto's Disease that caused her to gain an excessive amount of weight. It was a simple solution. Read on!

Dr Donald Layman, PhD, professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois and his research team found that a good way to get the thyroid to regulate itself and so promote weight loss, was to eat protein-rich diets, full of meat, poultry, soy and eggs. He found that increase of metabolism is related to improved thyroid function.

On Gloria's advice, Cristina cut out white carbohydrates like bread, potatoes and pasta after 5.00 pm. Instead she ate rice and tempura. She also exercised 4 times a week, with 30 minutes on the treadmill.

Coconut Oil Boost Calorie Burning

Bruce Fife, N.D. has demonstrated the health-restoring benefits of coconut oil. His research shows that regular consumption of coconut oil reverses hypothyroid problems because it stimulates the production of more thyroid production. Now he is attempting to see whether thyroid medication may be stopped if coconut oil is used. He recommends using 3 tablespoons per day. "Since it's a food and not a drug", he says, "it's free from side effects and is safe and smart for everyone" He even recommends it to those you don't have a thyroid problem because the latest research at University of Colorado show that you can increase your calorie burning capacity by up to 50%.

Other studies have shown that if you use coconut oil instead of other plant based oils, which in fact block the secretion of thyroid hormone, you can lose 36 lbs in one year without dieting.

Why is Coconut Oil so good?

It's made of medium-chain fatty acids instead of the long chain variety. They are digested very quickly because they are smaller. This creates heat that in turn stimulates metabolism and restores appropriate enzyme functioning. Additionally, they metabolize quickly and so bypass phases of digestion where they may be otherwise stored as fat.

So Carina started using coconut oil every day after she was finally diagnosed with a thyroid problem. She added it to her morning smoothie. She felt an increase of energy immediately and that was followed by weight loss of 5 lbs the first week and then 2 lbs a week after that.

Gail reported that she heard about coconut oil from her mom whose boss had lost 10 lbs using it. She made everything from vegetables to donuts with coconut oil and began losing rapidly, about 5 lbs per week. She thought that maybe she was slimming to fast. In six weeks she is 26 pounds lighter and tripled her energy.
