The Right Hypothyroid Diet Breakfast

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


The goal of the hypothyroid diet is to optimize metabolism. And the best way to jumpstart your metabolism everyday is with breakfast. If you're currently not eating breakfast, start!

Most foods and drinks consumed in the morning affect the function of the thyroid gland. Having a real meal that is healthy as opposed to just taking tea or coffee is crucial when one is suffering from this disorder.

You've been fasting since dinner the night before.

This is because your basal metabolic rate is at its highest point in the morning hence speeding up the process and a healthy meal will boost your metabolism.


However most people are not aware of this and end up not having breakfast but give more value to lunch and dinner.

Apart from weight gain another symptom or sign that one is has this disorder is body weakness hence the need to eat food that boost your energy.

It is important for the nutritional plan to consist of mineral selenium because it has a direct impact to the hormones produced by thyroid. Include Brazilian nuts, tomatoes and onions in your meals because they contain selenium.

The diet should also be rich in fiber to help the patient maintain proper weight. Examples include bread and brown rice among others.

Iodine is a mineral that helps in creating thyroid hormones hence the need to eat fruits and food with it.

Fruits that have this mineral include pineapples, mangoes and strawberries which can be put on the side.

The thyroid glands are responsible for releasing hormones necessary for the performance of the body system.

Eating right is one way of reducing the symptoms and signs of this condition it also ensure that metabolism is boosted in your body hence easy and quick absorption of food in the body.

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.

The avocado provides good fat and fiber, this will keep you full. However, you can use coconut or coconut oil, or another source of fat.

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.

A healthy nutritional plan and regular exercises will help you check on the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism since it does not have a permanent cure.

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

Do not skip this breakfast instead make it to be the most important meal of the day by settling for the right hypothyroid diet.
