Dr. Siegal is a very famous doctor in the United States, also because he is the one who created the famous “biscuit diet”, a diet based on biscuits rich in fiber to lose weight.

Today, however, I will talk to you about a very interesting book of his, never published in Italy, on problems related to the thyroid gland. In this book, your doctor discusses a diet to find out if you have a slow thyroid.

It is titled: “Is Your Thyroid Making You Fat? “, And focuses on a deeply felt problem, namely that hypothyroidism makes you fat.

But does hypothyroidism really make you fat?

Siegal explains that those with a slow thyroid or hypothyroidism can also lose weight, but they shouldn’t have their thyroid treated for that.

All of the patients who came to him were convinced that they were overweight due to their thyroid gland. But only in a few cases did Siegal discover that hypothyroidism had directly caused his patients’ obesity. In most cases, treating the thyroid has the indirect effect of losing weight because the patient feels better. The reduction or disappearance of symptoms caused people to deflate, feel more energetic and be able to follow a healthier lifestyle.

In short, what Siegal says is that people focus or worry about their thyroid just because they want to lose weight. But hypothyroidism actually gives other problems than being overweight.

The diet to find out if you have a slow thyroid

However, to find out if one is hypothyroid and if hypothyroidism is the cause of the extra pounds, Siegal developed a test to evaluate a person’s metabolic efficiency.

It is a diet to find out if you have a slow thyroid, lasting 28 days and 1000 calories to follow to the letter, and then collect data on yourself that allow you to determine if the metabolism is high or low and the thyroid is c ‘something comes in.
