Good Luck! Reply. Molljarvsays: April 6, 2. Did you exercise at all? Reply. Jennifersays: April 6, 2. I usually try and walk three to four times a week but I purposely didn’t exercise during this diet because I wanted to see if it would work by just changing what I ate. I lost 7. 5 pounds without exercise but my friend lost 1. By day 3 it was a bit hard for me because I was hungry but it is doable! I only did it once and now I follow the Paleo plan. I like food and I like to eat so the Paleo is wroking for me. Replyangelicasays: April 7, 2. I’m excited for you!!! I can’t wait to hear your results!!! Take a before photo too! I wished I had! Reply. Le. Annesays: April 7, 2. Is it ok if I swap the vegetables listed on day 1 and day 2 with each other? Reply. Jennifersays: April 7, 2. Hi Le. Anne! I think it’s intended for us to follow it exactly for the highest weight loss possible. I believe someone told me it has to do with they types of foods and when we eat them for this to work. However, I did deviate a bit from this plan. I am hypoglycemic and I cannot have sugar so I omitted the ice cream at the end of the day and added creamer to my coffee. This could be the reason I only lost 7. Please report back and tell me what you did and how it worked for you, okay?! Reply. Gemasays: April 7, 2. I have a question about the saltine crackers? Reply. Jennifersays: April 7, 2. Sure, what’s your question? Reply. Stephaniesays: April 9, 2. I want to start this ASAP befor graduation in three weeks. I’m horrible at excersising.

Neelsays: April 1. I am allergic to apples and bananas, what is a good substitute? Reply. Jennifersays: April 1. Oh Rae. Neel I dont’ know that I would try this Military diet then. There isn’t much to eat on it anyway and I’m not certain what the substitutes are for those foods. The Paleo diet does not work as fast but it’s much easier and you can eat much more. Unless anyone else has a better suggestion for substitutes. Good Luck! Taylorsays: April 1. I know the diet says coffee and tea but what about water throughout the day ? Can I drink as much as I want? Reply. Jennifersays: April 1. Thanks for that awesome question Taylor. I’ve just updated the post with some really good water consumption information. As a general rule, you should try and drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water. And I swapped a few things ( didnt have apples so I ate canned parts instead, also don’t have grape fruit so I had manderin oranges instead) I lost 8 pounds!!! Usually these kind if things are scams ! Can’t wait to do it again! Reply. Jennifersays: April 1. WOW!!! I’m so glad you tried it! Did you find it hard on day 3 like I did? I’m happy to hear about the substitutes too! Thanks so much for sharing your results! I say that but I did substitute the ice cream for coffee creamer. I’ve tried asking my friend and she doesn’t know either. I highly suggest using My. Fitness. Pal. com (free) to track your food intake and it will tell you exact calories you are taking in. I should have done this! Now I am curious. Reply. Laura Mc. Crillissays: April 1. What type of cheese, sliced American singles? I’m going to try this and update you with my results and myfitnesspal tracking. Reply. Jennifersays: April 2. I used a slice of Cheddar (the generic kind). I think Mozzarella is the lowest in fat but it didn’t specify in the plan. Let me know how it goes Laura! Replyalyshiasays: April 1. Im have to try this. But I cant stand tuna with out mayo. What to do? Reply. Jennifersays: April 2. I am 1. 00% with you on this one Alyshia! I stuck to the diet but I added Montreal Steak Seasoning to my tuna without Mayo. First time ever and I really enjoyed it! In fact, I use it every single time now without Mayo. You should give it a try. You can find this seasoning anywhere. It looks like this: amzn. VSLO3.

Also there was not enough fiber in the diet! It caused me to get an anal fissure and suffer much pain and embarrassment! Would not recommend. Reply. Jennifersays: May 8, 2. I’m sorry it caused you pain. I’ve not heard of that before. I think 3 pounds is still pretty significant though. Reply. Sandysays: May 8, 2. Hi. I am considering giving this a try, but I only want to loose 7. KG ( which is roughly 1. Im guessing that maybe because I dont have that mutch to loose that m weightloss wont be has high or does it not matter what you weigh you will still loose heaps? Anyone else have advice for Sandy? Reply. Feliciasays: May 1. Day 1 & im feeling good. I do exercise regularly but decided to do the diet on my rest days. In regards to fiber maybe you should load up on fiber thd day before and then again after. But the wheat toast & apples have fiber in them so it will keep you moving! Im tracking my results on myfitnesspal. Reply. Jennifersays: May 1. Awesome Felicia! Keep us posted!!! Reply. Laurasays: May 1. I did this when I was in the military and it worked. My physician also told me that it was approved by the Mayo Heart Clinic for heart patients who need to drop weight fast for surgeries. It worked great for me! Reply. Jennifersays: May 1. Really?!!! Thanks for sharing Laura!!! Appreciate your feedback! Replykarensays: May 1. I’m on day 2 of this diet but the menu that I saw on another website said one cup of cottage cheese on day 2 for lunch. Reply. Jennifersays: May 1. I did not have cottage cheese in this diet. If you do, let me know how it goes. Reply. Stephaniesays: May 2. I had this on the menu that I had too. Cottage cheese is really good for you and aids in weight loss. I have noticed that almost every diet out there has cottage cheese on the plan. I like cottage cheese and on Day 2 I actually did the cottage cheese instead. I switched to the block cheese and had a thin slice of that for Day 3 breakfast and cut it into 5 pieces and put them on my saltine crackers and ate them that way. Reply. Amber R. says: May 1. Can anyone give some examples of what they ate for the 3oz meat, thanks in advance! Reply. Jennifersays: May 1. I ate Tuna, Salmon, Chicken breast and Roast beef. Hope that helps. Reply. Amber R. says: May 1. Awesome, thanks for your help! Reply. Stephaniesays: May 2. I portioned out a steak that had the Montreal Seasoning on that Jennifer mentioned she put onto her tuna. Which I might add is REALLY good on the tuna as well. I put it on everything! I started day 1 today, I substituted apple for a peach because I have chrons and my body does not digest them well. I will substitute with peaches and plums. We’ll see!!! Reply. Jennifersays: May 2. Good Luck Crystal! Please let us know how the Peach substitution goes! We are all curious. Replycrystalsays: May 2. Thank you! I don’t feel very hungry and when I do start to feel a little hungry (like on day 1 and 2) I just went and chugged water. It’s proven that if you drink a lot of water not only is it good for your body, it will prevent you from putting a lot of food into your mouth come meal times. I will continue to day 7 and not eat a bunch of junk but won’t limit myself. Can’t wait to post results. Thank you so much Jennifer for posting this. I found you via Pinterest by the way!! That’s AWESOME!!!! Replyfredsays: May 2. The way you lose weight in the military is partially by what you eat, but MOSTLY BY THE FACT THAT YOU’RE UP EVERY MORING AT 0. RUNNING. GET OFF THE COUCH AND GO. Reply. Jennifersays: May 2. I agree Fred!! Thanks for commenting! Reply. Jen Tolliversays: June 2. This is the cardiac diet. It is used for the overweight patients who need to lose weight immediately. Reply. Jennifersays: July 7, 2. Oh that’s good to know Jen! It really does work! Replyalliesays: July 8, 2. Is it bad if u sneak a cup of coffee on the second day? Reply. Jennifersays: July 1. I must have my coffee daily. If not, no one would want to be around me. Stay on the diet for 3 days and eat sensibly the next 4 days, then go back on the diet for another 3 days. Day Thyroid reset diet How to heal your Thyroid + Boost Metabolism. Ready to tackle your thyroid problems but unsure of where to start? Let me first start by saying.. This guide is only a starting point! But: It is the first place I would start if you are overwhelmed and it will definitely help improve your thyroid function and metabolism. People who have failed more restrictive diets like the Autoimmune Protocol. People who are already working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner. People who are looking for a ? This guide is contains about 5% of my popular weight loss and metabolism reset guide that you can learn about h. The full guide contains meal plans, recipes, ways to further personalize your diet, medications to boost weight loss, hormones to boost weight loss, targeted supplements for certain hormone imbalances and intermittent fasting routines that I've created based on treating hundreds of patients. If you ask any Doctor if diet is important in reversing disease, they will all tell you that it is critical. But when was the last time your Doctor sat down and talked to you about your diet, your energy levels or the stress in your life? Speaking of that, let's dive in to the nitty gritty. If you want to get the full benefit then you need to commit to making changes in these 4 categories for the following 1. If it doesn't look like food, don't eat it! Where should you start? I'll make it easy.. Eat real whole food. If it has more than 1 ingredient then don't eat it. If it doesn't pass the eyeball test then don't eat it. In addition, there are a couple of No- No's that every Thyroid patient should be aware of. You should Avoid Calorie Restricted Diets at all costs. Calorie restricted diets actually make thyroid function worse. When you restrict calories your body thinks you're in a state of starvation, and in order to preserve energy it increases the production of Reverse T3 and reduces T4 to T3 conversion. As little as 2. 5 days of calorie restricted dieting can reduce thyroid function by up to 5. Not only that but low fat diets have never been shown to cause sustained weight loss. Insulin resistance (and elevated insulin levels) are notorious for causing Thyroid Resistance and increasing Reverse T3 levels. You should be cautious of very low carbohydrate diets. While it is true that low carb diets do cause the most effective weight loss, they can potentially cause worsening fatigue in some hypothyroid patients. People suffering from thyroid problems do much better on a moderate carb diet - around 2. After thyroid function and conversion has been optimized you can then consider reducing carbohydrates further. Because the majority of people are NOT optimized I generally don't suggest low carb diets to start with. You should avoid eating more than 6- 8 servings of Goitrogenic foods per week and these foods should be steamed instead of eaten raw. Foods high in goitrogens include: . Avoid eating these foods raw! Revitalize Your Exercise Routine. Exercise is another important area that requires some special considerations for patients with thyroid problems. And if you have a sluggish thyroid your body can't necessarily tolerate that stress. In my practice I've found a dichotomy . The truth is that you should really be somewhere in between.. Exercise is kind of like Goldilocks, too much is a bad thing and too little is also a bad thing. So, there are a few things you should remember before you start exercising: Before you add high intensity interval training into your regimen make sure your thyroid medication is optimized (if you are on it) and make sure your adrenals can tolerate the stress. If you are still experiencing crushing fatigue it's best to focus on low intensity and skip high intensity exercise in the beginning. Science has shown that 1 hour of walking per day is enough to reduce your risk of . Not only that but it is also critical to boosting your metabolism. Let me explain: Throughout a woman's cycle her hormone levels fluctuate on a daily basis (I'm sure you know this already!), but what you may not know is that these hormones can influence your energy levels, metabolism and your desire for exercise. Follicular Phase Exercises: Days 1- 1. That means you should focus on moderate intensity and longer work outs. This is accomplished by providing your body with the critical nutrients involved in the conversion process, and also by improving gut health which is involved in both converting thyroid hormone and acting as reservoir for stored thyroid hormone in the body. In addition, I've never found a person in my clinic who isn't suffering from Adrenal fatigue to some degree due to the constant low grade stress that we all deal with on a daily basis. We've known this as far back as the 1. Further studies have shown that Hypothyroidism causes direct dysfunction in the Adrenal Glands themselves - resulting in symptoms of fatigue which manifests as the condition of . My experience in working with patients is that healing the Adrenals is required in order to achieve optimal results. I've also found that all other supplements and treatment seem to be more effective when targeting the adrenals. This nutrient is involved in converting inactive T4 to the active T3 thyroid hormone in addition to a number of other beneficial side effects: Zinc boosts immune function (Especially helpful for those with Hashimoto's) . Using Zinc is a no brainer when you have any sort of thyroid problems and should be a pivotal part of your nutrient regimen! Using the right type of Zinc and getting on the right brand is very important. Remember that not all supplements are created equal, because of this I recommend only purchasing Zinc that is bound to Picolinic Acid because this has been shown to have superior absorption compared to other cheaper formulations. Zinc citrate is a close runner up and can be effective as well, but I find that the majority of my patients see better results when Zinc is bound to picolinic acid. Without adequate levels of Selenium (and Zinc) you may have . This is super important for all hypothyroid patients! Why? Because it's estimated that over 9. Hypothyroidism in the United States have an autoimmune thyroiditis, whether your antibodies are elevated or not. Let me say that again because it is so important.. If you have hypothyroidism there is a 9. Couple that with the fact that it helps boost T4 to T3 conversion and Selenium supplementation becomes a no brainer for Thyroid patients. And this is a terrible situation, considering the importance the Gut plays in functioning with the Thyroid. How Nutrient Deficiencies and Gut Imbalances Stack up Against You. Let me give you an example of how this can all stack up against you: If 2. Thyroid Hormone is converted in the gut and you have a gut imbalance (SIBO, Yeast overgrowth, Reflux, Dysbiosis, Leaky Gut, etc.) then the inflammation from this condition may limit your conversion process by 5- 1. If you have Zinc or Selenium deficiencies in your body that can further reduce whole body conversion by another 5- 1. Now lets assume you have Insulin Resistance, Leptin Resistance or that you take Anti- Depressants or other thyroid conversion blocking medications. Now you're set up to have another 5- 1. So, not only can your body not convert the inactive T4 to T3, now it has trouble even letting what little active T3 is in the body get inside the cells to do its job. Thyroid hormone helps increase intestinal peristalsis (the natural movement of the gut) and it also helps the body regulate the amount of stomach acid needed for digestion. I've found that unless these imbalances are treated your thyroid will NOT function at 1. That's why I've included some basic gut health recommendations in this Thyroid Reset Diet. I would recommend finding a Functional Medicine Physician near you for further assistance. Soil Based Organisms and Hypothyroidism. Because certain gut imbalances are so common in Hypothyroid patients I don't recommend jumping into any random probiotic to try and improve your health. Certain types of probiotics can actually make gut imbalances worse (especially if you are suffering from SIBO). These probiotics act as fermentable substrate for overgrown bacteria and result in worsening constipation, gas or abdominal pain when taking probiotics. For this reason I recommend that Hypothyroid patients stick to Soil Based Organisms to start. They tend to be much better tolerated and work very well.. You need to have three positive emotions for every negative emotion. And they have the ability to negatively impact your health. If you don't remove these toxins from your body you will NOT optimize your health. What's worse is that many of these chemicals . These chemicals are known as Endocrine Disruptors and they may be seriously impacting your thyroid function. The scary part is that they recognize in their paper that these chemicals alter thyroid function at the cellular level (causing tissue level hypothyroidism) lowering free T3 levels, but the chemicals don't impact TSH levels. Which means that if your Doctor is only ordering TSH and Free T4 then they are not getting a complete picture of your thyroid function. For more information on how to pick the best diet for you please see this post. I'm always updating this post, so if I left something out or you have more questions please comment below and I will answer it personally! And that is by design!
