Data pulled from the National Health & Nutrition Examination Survey suggest that about one in 300 people in the US have hypothyroidism. We hear this question very often, which means way more people want to blame a thyroid that’s not malfunctioning to begin with. Not convinced? Simply ask your primary care physician to run thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) blood analysis panels. If your thyroid really is malfuntioning, an endocrinologist may be able to help. But most often, the thyroid is functioning properly.
3. Measuring Water Weight
Water weight that you have accumulated before your weight loss journey will be lost and measured by your doctor in the first few months of your program. You will know how much water weight you had when the program started, and you can begin the proper weight loss program after all the water weight is out of your system.
To bring about this change in the perception we have to first ask ourselves how we feel about food, and whether or not food is the cause or the symptom of a larger problem. Eating due to stress, emotional concern, anxiety, or depression is a very common unhealthy coping skill adopted by many. Late night snacking, sleep eating, and eating excessively in the evenings after daily starvation are all common causes of an unhealthy relationship to food.
