How to do a thyroid support diet? In this article we see the famous Thyroid Diet by Dr. Clara Schneider, who wrote a very famous book about it and often plagiarized by other authors, namely The Everything Thyroid Diet Book .

A book that addresses all the pathologies affecting the thyroid gland, including neoplasms and endocrine diseases, and offers different food plans depending on the type of problem, giving therapeutic indications.

Looking only at the dietary part, Dr. Schneider, dietician, endocrinologist and diabetologist, offers several dietary plans.
The part of the actual thyroid diet intends to give different food prospects, with a very easy system of portions and substitutions.

• • A 1300 calorie diet for women with hypothyroidism and overweight.
  • 1600 calorie diet for hypothyroid overweight men or maintenance hypo women (after 1300 weight loss regimen).
  • A 1900 calorie plan for undergoing hypo men.
  • A 2000 calorie diet for hyperthyroid women and 2200 calories for hyperthyroid men.

Caloric needs are indicative for sedentary subjects. For example, a 2000-calorie diet may not be enough for a woman with an overactive thyroid, a 2,200-calorie diet for a man, for example. Or a maintenance plan for a 1600 calorie hypothyroid woman might be too low calorie.

The point is to understand how the Thyroid diet works and then review the calories based on what your doctor recommends.
But what are the characteristics of this diet?

THYROID DIET OF DOCTOR SCHNEIDER: CHARACTERISTICS

There are two principles of the thyroid diet. On the one hand, a diet of 6 meals a day to balance blood sugar and avoid energy drops that are harmful for both people with underactive and overactive thyroid.

On the other hand, the completeness of the food plan, which balances the macronutrients and focuses a lot on some minerals to stabilize the thyroid and metabolism. Elements such as selenium, calcium, potassium and magnesium.

How does it work?

A portion system is used for the main foods. Each meal has a quantity of recommended portions per food.
The plan is based on the number of different portions depending on the calorie ceiling chosen.
In this article, I will only address the 1300 calorie weight loss diet for women and the 1600 calorie maintenance plan. In this case we are talking about women with underactive and overweight thyroid glands.
On page two you will find the 2 patterns for 1300 calories and 1600 calories. At the next the prospectus of the portions. Finally on page a sample day of a 1300 calorie diet to make you better understand the scheme.
