Why is wheat bad for thyroid problems?
Wheat isn't necessary a bad thing to incorporate into your diet if you have a thyroid condition. However, some thyroid patients have noticed that reducing the amount of gluten they eat, or eliminating it altogether from their diet, has improved some of the symptoms they experience as a result of their thyroid condition. This doesn't mean that eating gluten-free will improve your thyroid function, it just means it might help reduce the severity of symptoms like constipation, weight gain, fluid retention to name a few.
Is the Lemonade diet a cleansing diet?
The Lemonade Diet is a starvation diet where you are expected to live on a lemon and water solution, with a bit of sweetener for 1-2 weeks. You are not allowed solid foods at all. I think this is another fad diet for people who want a quick weight loss fix. While you will find plenty of online sites touting the benefits, medical sites do not support it: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-lemonade-diet-master-cleanse-diet
Is obesity caused by the thyroid?
Weight gain is a symptom of hypothyroid (underactive thyroid), however, if you do not have hypothyroidism you should not use thyroid hormones to speed up your metabolism. This will cause hyperthyroid and have serious side effects which could lead to death. If you suspect you are overweight because of an underactive thyroid you need to ask your doctor to have your tsh levels checked AND your free t3, free t4 checked. If you want to support your thyroid naturally you could try incorporating more iodine and selenium rich foods into your diet. These minerals are needed for your thyroid to produce the thyroid hormones.
