Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat: The Doctor's 28-Day Diet that Tests Your Metabolism as You Lose Weight

by Sanford Siegal

Are you dieting and exercising-and still gaining weight?

Are you taking vitamins and minerals-and still have dull skin and hair?

Are you sleeping eight hours a night-and still feel tired all day?

If so—you may be one of the hundreds of thousands of people who suffer from hypothyroidism, a thyroid gland malfunction that makes it virtually impossible to lose weight and that can cause a wide range of other conditions. In this book, weight-loss trailblazer Dr. Sanford Siegal gives you a 28-day diet plan that helps most people lose pounds fast-and serves as an important indicator. That's because if you don't lose a lot of weight on the plan, you'll know that you may very well have a sluggish thyroid, a condition that most conventional tests fail to detect. A diet book with a difference, filled with groundbreaking medical insight and case studies, here is a guide to taking control of your weight and your health that finally answers the question... IS YOUR THYROID MAKING YOU FAT?

I like the concept of this book and scream out YES! at the title. The book did help convince me of my decision to try a switch to natural thyroid. But beyond that I can't get behind his "diet". It is all artificial food, sweetener, frozen meals, and stuff that I've worked so hard to remove from my diet that it would be insane to go backwards and add it all back in. That said - if you did eat that badly then it would be a good place to start.

Good method but outdated diet advice. Dangerous diet to follow unsupervised.

Curious to see if there is anything to it? Based on smemof my personal frustrations, I am hopeful their may be something to this?
