Weight Loss and Dieting

Nearly everyone across the board at sometime in their lives wishes to lose weight. Some wish to lose a couple of stone while others wish to lose a lot more. Dieting alone doesn’t always work or if it does it could also do with a little extra help. Fat thoughts often have a lot to do with the extra weight, or maybe there’s someone in your life that you don’t want to get too close to. Then the Law of Attraction comes into play as, although you may not be aware of it, those fat thoughts are drawing the weight to you as you comfort eat and over a period of time the weight creeps ever on.

Another reason for extra weight can be hormonal, the thyroid controls the metabolic rate and if that works too slowly again the weight goes on. There are control panels in the hypothalamus which can be put up or down according to the problem which helps to bring the metabolic rate back to normal which in turn automatically helps to lose weight. (Signs of Thyroid problems must be checked by your Doctor) I found going to a Kinesiologist paid dividends as I was extremely thyrotoxic and had a thyroxin count of 67 (25 is the usual amount of thyroxin the body produces) so I know how helpful from first-hand experience vitamins and minerals can be an invaluable help for putting right the thyroid. I was told that there was no cure for an overactive thyroid and that I had to either kill it off with Carbimazole, Radio Active Iodine, or have an operation and have it chopped. I asked if there was another way to proceed, but was told no those were my only choices. I had an innate feeling that there was another way forward. I had suffered the situation for about two years so was well down the road of all the symptoms, being out of breath when climbing stairs or going for a walk, having to pace myself when doing gardening or any kind of manual work, shaking from my feet up and not being able to hold a camera still to be able to take good pictures, my eyes were out on stalks and I had a goiter. I had had an allergy to nickel since a teenager and thought I had to live with it but it was all part and parcel of what was wrong with me.

I was very pleased when I was told of an excellent Kinesiologist who was able to tell me, within an hour, what was wrong with me. I had very little manganese in my body and needed 50mgs straight away and my body actually needed 100 mgs but had to wait 3 weeks before I could take the 100 mgs. I then had to add other vitamins and minerals to bring my body back to balance and today my thyroid is working well.
This is just one reason why the thyroid can become overactive, if you do have a problem with your thyroid I suggest you find yourself a very good Kinesiologist and find out if it is a mineral deficiency or some other problem that can be put right by taking vitamins and minerals before taking drastic steps to have it killed off it certainly is not always necessary.

Vitamins and minerals also help the body to work more efficiently. Vitamin B complex helps with hormonal problems, menopausal, overweight, thyroid problems both under and overactive.
