So... its not just eating is it? e.x.e.r.c.i.s.e......
Every time i've tried to loose weight in the past i have focused entirely on food but I learned a big lesson last year, from about June to August. I started running. This is a truly shocking thing for me to do, i am simply not an exerciser.
I was inspired by my mum, who admittedly is an exerciser and as skinny as a rake, but she is 64 and having never done running before, with two girls from out local pub they decided to do a 10k race for charity.
I started very very slowly, run 1min walk 1min, then built it up to the point that i was actually genuinely enjoying it doing about 4k, 3x a week! And i lost loads of weight and felt amazing. But then the old hypothyroid flared up and i was knocked out for 2 months, piled all the weight back on and felt miserable as sin!
Anyway, along with my big food push in January, i'm determined to get back to doing more exercise. Running once a week and walking at least 30mins a day. I will build from there.
If anyone else is thinking about having a go at starting to run, let me know. I was using an app on my phone called 'runmeter' that was absolutely fantastic, they also do a 'walkmeter' and 'cyclemeter' version.
I'm going to start writing my rules and mini targets.
Hope your all feeling christmassy!

Okay, food that is
GOOD
for the Thyroid -
Coconut oil.
The simple act of eating more coconut oil is enough to raise their body temperature and supply them with natural energy, which indicates the powerful role coconut oil plays in thyroid health.
Cod liver oil.
The bioavailable vitamin A in cod liver oil is supportive of healthy thyroid function, because the thyroid depends on plenty of natural vitamin A.
Butter.
With its plentiful supply of vitamin A and iodine, butter remains a staple that nourishes the thyroid as well as the rest of the body.
Eggs.
Like butter, eggs are a rich source of vitamin A and iodine. Plus, they are en excellent source of protein. Getting plenty of natural amino acids through protein is good for your thyroid.
Seafood.
The richest source of natural iodine, seafood played an important role in traditional Asian cultures. These people ate soy (highly fermented, of course) on a daily basis, but also ate plenty of iodine-rich seafood to counteract soy’s anti-nutrients. Sea vegetables like kelp and dulce are especially nutritious, and so is genuine fish broth.
And food that is
BAD
for Thyroid -
Wheat and other grains like rye, barley, millet and oats.
There has been some evidence of the link between gluten-sensitivity and poor thyroid function.
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, turnips, brussels sprouts and kale.
These veggies are known for their thyroid-suppressing properties because they contain goitrogens. Thorough cooking deactivates these to some extent.
Soy in its many forms.
Soy is a powerful food. Even a small serving of soy each day is enough to suppress thyroid function. So give your thyroid a break and ditch the soy.
Coffee.
Caffeine overstimulates the thyroid and interferes with the absorption of nutrients that could benefit thyroid health.
Definatly feel like i'm getting to grips with the good, bad and the ugly foods now!

So, since being put on Levothyroxine i decided to make some 'good' changes to my general diet. Namely to stop drinking milk, that i know doesn't totally agree with me.
And i managed it, even started genuinely enjoying a soy-latte.
But i've been feeling worse and worse, sluggish and depressed.
And now having discovered that Soy is a Levothyroxine blocker, all that determination getting away from milk has been detrimental!
This is so darn confusing. :/
So anyone out there taking this drug, or with thyroid problems - stay away from soy. It pretends to be healthy and good but its baaaaad. Since finding this out i've done loads of reading. All i can say is - Gosh!

Ooooh, so my main focus is dealing with auto-immune related issues (thyroid, psoriasis..etc) and just been rummaging on the net and come across the Paleo-Diet.
Sounds exactly what i was planning to try for 2 months to kick start the project.
If anyone doesn't know about the Paleo-diet have a quick look at this;
http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/10/04/the-beginners-guide-to-the-paleo-diet/
But essentially it goes like this -
Our bodys are evolved to eat like hunter-gatherers, but we are now sedantary farmer-types.
Go back to a caveman diet;
+ no Grain.
+ No Milk (unless its from your own mother)
All this stuff is fine tho -
Meat - GRASS-FED, not grain-fed. Grain causes the same problem in animals as they do in humans.
Fowl - Chicken, duck, hen, turkey…things with wings that (try to) fly.
Fish - Wild fish, as mercury and other toxins can be an issue in farmed fish
Eggs - Look for Omega-3 enriched eggs.
Vegetables - As long as they’re not deep-fried, eat as many as you want.
Oils - Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil – think natural.
Fruits - Have natural sugar, and can be higher in calories, so limit if you’re trying to lose weight.
Nuts - High in calories, so they’re good for a snack, but don’t eat bags and bags of them.
Tubers - Sweet potatoes and yams. Higher in calories and carbs, so these are good for right after a workout to replenish your glycogen levels.
Right, thats January and February sorted then!

Hello!
Hope everyone's having a festive December. Rather too much food on offer at this time of year. So to be honest, I'm not planning to start this project until January. But I wanted to start doing some research and getting to know this site and the people on it before i throw myself in at the deep end.
I have two goals, firstly simply to loose this extra weight I'm lugging about, but also to try and solve some health issues I've been struggling with through trial and error.
Namely hypothyroidism, psoriasis and gut problems.
I keep running up against problems and contradictions, so i want to use this place to report findings, store information, and get some motivation off others (and hopefully give some back!)
Let the games begin!
