Choosing The Right Hypothyroid Diet Breakfast Plan

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


It is very important for a person with hypothyroid condition to know what not eat especially during breakfast as this meal is very important for the growth and metabolism process in our bodies. It is therefore very important to choose the right hypothyroid diet plan.

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?

A healthy hypothyroid diet is important as it helps in speeding up the metabolism process in the body. The best way to boost your metabolism is by having a healthy meal each morning.

In case you are one of those people who skip and see no value in this first meal of the day yet you suffer from this disorder then it is very important that you start taking it.

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.

A balanced diet should consist of vitamins, fats, protein, carbohydrates and other minerals which should be eaten in the same proportion.

Food that contains carbohydrates like pasta and some cereals are good as they will boost your energy levels.

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.

Vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots should also be included in your meal as they contain fiber and antioxidants which reduce the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Avoid vegetables like cabbages, cauliflower and broccoli among others as they interfere with the function of the thyroid.

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

Sugar is important though it should be minimal in your diet. However carbohydrates should be consumed on a moderate level as they may have negative effects on your system like constipation.

Instead of eating fatty meat like bacon and hamburger during breakfast go for healthier protein food.

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

Eat fortified cereals, lentils among others instead of fatty meat.

Too much sugar will lead to weight gain. Avoid taking soft drinks like soda, processed juice and food stuffs like cakes and cookies during meals as it may not check on the reduction of some of the symptoms or signs.

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.

However it is important to note that just because one is suffering from this condition does not mean that they have to watch the calories they consume or go on low fat diets.

It also important to take water especially when taking your medication instead of taking juice or soft drinks like soda.

Happy blending.
