Hey all,
My fiancee' has recently been diagnosed by hypothyroidism and has started treatment.
Her symptoms are:
- Weight gain despite working out 4-5 times a week (weight + cardio) and calorie controlled diet
- Loss of energy, needing to sleep 10hours plus per day
- Zero libido / sex drive
- Bad circulation (cold hands and feet)
- Difficulty concentrating and mental fatigue
Obviously this has put a huge amount of stress on our relationship, but we are trying to work through it.
In addition to the medial treatment, I need some direction is regards to the exercise and diet regime for her. We have purchased The Thyroid Diet by Mary J Shomon, and are working through that.
If anyone has had experience (and hopefully success) with dealing with hypothyroidism - please let me know. Specifically it would be good to get some ideas in regards to a training / work out regime to kick her metabolism into gear again.
Please private message we or reply if you have info / resources to help me.
