If you've ever asked your doctor for help with weight loss, you've probably heard the neatly packaged sales pitch citing an "underactive thyroid gland."
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck.
Doctors call an under-active thyroid hypothyroidism. They say the condition is due to a deficiency of the calorie-burning hormones T3 and T4.
With the excitement of a child selling lemonade on a hot day, the doctor follows with a sales ploy to get you hooked on thyroid meds for life.
But beware! Thyroid meds don't work…and they age you prematurely.
(See www.noexcusesfatloss.com to address the root cause of your excess fat.)
Here's the ugly truth:
The thyroid, along with its hormones, is only ONE small component of a properly working metabolism. In fact, it's so small that even if you didn't have one, you could still have a slim body by compensating with many other metabolic factors.
Women in particular seem to be smitten by doctors' vain promises of how thyroid meds can incinerate fat…but this is a load of BS.
Synthroid (levothyroxin) was the first thyroid medication. It's designed to model the thyroid hormone T4. Hormone expert and chief of endocrinology for UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School highlighted its uselessness when he stated
that "Synthroid has long been discounted as a remedy for weight loss, but it is still being used improperly by probably millions of Americans."
Its competitor, Armour Thyroid, has been called bioidentical. Like Synthroid, it fails to increase lean body mass. The main reason for its
failure? It's not bioidentical. It comes from pigs.
A pig's balance of thyroid hormones is 80 percent T4 and 20 percent T3. The human thyroid, however, produces roughly 95 percent T4 and 5 percent T3.
Additionally, pig hormones don't match our binding sites, which are simply the switches regulated by hormones. But that's not all. The atoms that make up the pig's T4 and T3 hormones differ in weight from our own chemical messengers.
Is it any surprise that swine hormones aren't helping people lose weight? (Just look at America's rising obesity problem! This sh#t is not f@#cking working!)
These three distinctions — hormone balance, improper match of hormone binding sites, and differential atomic weights — have officially become a part of college chemistry textbooks. They also show why neither medication
helps hypothyroidism. The counterfeits displace our natural hormone activity and do not fix the underlying cause of hormone imbalance.
Just like the wrong key can jam a lock, thyroid meds sever our biological ties to our own, unique thyroid hormone output, sensitivity, and balance.
With our "real" hormones blocked, our bodies are primed for obesity, premature aging, and illness.
This outcome was highlighted in the Journal of the American Medical Association. As thyroid meds throw our hormone balance out of whack, they
cause calcium depletion and bone weakening, diarrhea, irritability, headache, hand tremors, leg cramps, insomnia, vomiting, nervousness,
decreased bone density, heart palpitation, changes in menstrual periods, and even seizures.
These horrific side effects are so common that their presence prevented Synthroid from obtaining FDA approval for forty-six years. The drug was
still widely prescribed (illegally), earning millions for its maker, Abbott Laboratories.
Synthroid was eventually given rubber-stamp approval, despite the fact that not a single clinical trial could prove its safety and efficacy!
…So get off the damn thyroid meds! Or better yet, give your doctor the middle finger and "just say no" to thyroid meds.
If you're looking to lose weight, don't risk your health on risky thyroid meds…and don't fall for the ploy of "hypothyroidism."
Instead, you need to address the ROOT CAUSE of your obesity — what you put into your mouth.

P.S. Doctors swoon women by claiming that thyroid meds can "reverse hypothyroidism," shrink your ass, make your husband's jokes funnier, cause your neighbors to be incredibly jealous of you, or whatever else the pharmaceutical marketing whizzes can dream up. But it's all a fairy tale. If thyroids meds worked, then why are women just getting fatter?
To burn fat, you need to address the root cause of your obesity.
Use www.noexcusesfatloss.com for a simple protocol on how to lose the fat for
good. (Optional: give your doctor the middle finger and "just say no" to
thyroid meds!)
