    Introduction

    A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.

    If you or a loved one has a thyroid imbalance, it can be a frustrating drain on your overall health. You may feel constant fatigue, become depressed, feel irritable, or have serious trouble gaining or losing weight. Millions of Americans have thyroid issues, and proper diagnosis is the first step toward alleviating some of the problems you may face. But where should you start? Understanding the causes of your hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism will help to form a plan to manage your symptoms and take control of your diet and health.

    Thyroid function depends on the proper foods in your diet. Thyroid hormone is made from iodine and protein. Iodine is found in the soil by the sea, in animals that graze the land by the sea, and in saltwater fish and plants. It is also found in iodized salt, dairy products, and dough conditioners in baked products made in the United States. Iodine deficiency can lead to thyroid goiters, cretinism, and myxedema.

    Thyroid hormone is very important in the regulation of metabolism, which affects body weight. In individuals with hypothyroidism, basal metabolic rate is low. Basal metabolic rate is the amount of calories needed to stay alive in a resting state. A weight gain of approximately five to ten pounds is associated with hypothyroidism. Much of the weight gain is thought to be due to an increase in water and salt.

    If not in conflict with any other conditions, the recommendation for most people with hypothyroidism is a well-balanced diet. As there are potential problems with increased cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels (LDL), doctors and dietitians usually recommend a heart-healthy diet.

    So what is a heart-healthy diet? The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugar in the diet. Their recommendations are no more than 100 calories for women and no more than 150 calories for men from added sugar. Getting enough fiber is excellent (just remember to be careful about not having fiber at the same time your thyroid medication is taken). At least half of grains consumed should be in the form of whole grains.
