I remember when I first started gaining weight…
I was really trying… eating lean meats and veggies… I was exercising… but no matter what I did, I just couldn’t lose weight no matter what…
Then out of nowhere I gained 40 lbs in a month!
I felt like a whale if I took my shirt off…
I had to buy a whole new set of clothes…
Within a couple of weeks my new jeans were fitting tight again… it was the first time my belly started hanging over my belt…
I wanted my clothes to fit and feel confident in my body…
So I started looking into ways to lose weight…
For the longest time I was so focused on trying to figure out how to boost my thyroid thinking that would help…
I started looking for thyroid support supplements, weight loss shakes, and trying just about every diet out there… vegan, keto, paleo…
When you try everything and nothing seems to work it can feel defeating, demoralizing and depressing…
Then one day as I was looking into how to get more energy, everything came together…
I found exactly why I felt miserable and found the key to losing weight once and for all…
What was baffling was that it had nothing to do with the thyroid…
This one thing I’m about to share with you is exactly what helped me lose weight and keep it off…
I started sharing this one thing with people and they too started to lose weight…
Listen to Cindy Ross’s weight loss success story…
Why can’t I lose weight as easily as I used to before I got diagnosed with hashimoto’s?
I used to think that the thyroid was to blame for all the weight I had gained…
It turns out that it was the weight I was gaining that was affecting my thyroid, my energy levels, my hormone production, brain fog, anxiety, depression and my hair falling off…
How so?
What makes you gain weight most is the type of gut flora that lives in your gut…
There are two types of gut flora… there’s good gut flora called probiotics (friendly yeast & bacteria)… and there’s bad gut flora (yeast candida, mold, fungus, parasites, etc.)
Good gut flora digest food for you, turn it into nutrients so you can produce energy… good gut flora also help keep your body clean… a clean body is a lean body…
Bad gut flora also break down food, but they don’t make nutrients for you… instead they release toxins that give you gas, bloating and constipation… the toxins they release can begin to accumulate in your fat cells… a toxic body is a fat body…
80% of your immune system is your gut flora…
That’s why if you have primarily probiotics in your gut, your immune system is strong… your hormone production is good…
When you have bad gut flora, then your hormone production and balance get out of whack…
Bat gut flora is what begins to attack your body…
Probiotics don’t attack your body… bad gut flora does…
So when people ask me how I was able to lose weight after trying just about everything it was this one thing…
I focused on cleaning up my gut so that I could grow probiotics and got rid of bad gut flora…
When I started doing this, not only was I able to lose weight, I started to get my energy back…
Probiotics produce energy for you…
Probiotics produce and balance hormones for you…
My melatonin (sleeping hormone) improved…
I used to toss and turn all night… once I started to improve my gut health my sleep improved…
I got deep restorative sleep…
I also found that my brain fog was from all the toxins trying to get into the brain… as I cleared up my gut and removed toxins, my brain fog went away…
I started to remember things better and was able to focus…
I felt like I got my life back…
Is it possible for people with hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) to lose weight?
There’s not many places you can go and see actual success story videos of people who’ve been able to lose weight with thyroid issues…
That’s because most people are trying to fix their thyroid to lose weight and that’s not how it works…
The key is your gut flora…
If you have bad gut flora, then even if you eat healthy… heck, even if you starve yourself, you’d still have a hard time losing weight because bad gut flora will continue to produce toxins and that’s what makes you gain weight…
There are some fad diets that may work temporarily… you can try to lose weight on keto, but any weight loss will be temporary if you don’t fix your gut flora…
Fixing your gut flora is much simpler than you might think…
One of the main reasons why your gut flora gets weaker is dehydration…
When I tell people that hydration is one of the easiest ways to boost their energy, many are skeptical…
How can something so simple be a solution when they’ve tried all kinds of supplements, labs and diets… few health professionals ever bring this up…
If you don’t drink enough water and stay hydrated, your digestion slows down…
Your body needs water and minerals to digest food…
If you can’t digest food properly, food begins to rot in your gut… that’s where gas, bloating and constipation come from…
Hydration is not the only thing that needs to be done, but it’s definitely the first step…
Think about it… what do you need to clean your dishes, your clothes… shower?
You need water don’t you?
Water is what you need to clean your gut as well…
If you want to grow healthy probiotics in your gut, you need to first create a clean environment so that probiotics can thrive and grow healthy…
Bad gut flora grows in your gut only when it gets dirty…
Bad gut flora doesn’t survive in a clean environment…
It’s not easy to get rid of bad gut flora once they colonize in your gut…
Possible? yes…
Once you get it, you will understand why it’s ridiculous to think that a pill for thyroid support would ever be able to fix your gut which is really where the source of fatigue and weight gain comes from…
If you can get past the pill mentality and be willing to roll up your sleeves and get to work on cleaning up your gut and growing probiotics then you’ll be on your way to losing weight even if you have low thyroid…
