Choosing The Right Hypothyroid Diet Breakfast Plan

By Dr. Kevin Dobrzynski


The goal of the hypothyroid diet is to optimize metabolism. And the best way to jumpstart your metabolism everyday is with breakfast. If you're currently not eating breakfast, start!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it's the first meal of the day, and, it's the first meal since you started your fast. What fast?

A healthy hypothyroid diet is important as it helps in speeding up the metabolism process in the body. The best way to boost your metabolism is by having a healthy meal each morning.

In case you are one of those people who skip and see no value in this first meal of the day yet you suffer from this disorder then it is very important that you start taking it.

A meal consists of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Your snacks and 'treats' should also contain all three macronutrients. This will provide your body with sustained energy, not just a quick burst of energy that carbohydrates provide by themselves.

So, what does the ideal breakfast look like for someone with hypothyroidism?

Food that contains carbohydrates like pasta and some cereals are good as they will boost your energy levels.

Smoothies are great because they're loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, fat, protein, and carbohydrates. Smoothies are super-nutritious, or at least they should be. This is why they work great within the hypothyroid diet.

Vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots should also be included in your meal as they contain fiber and antioxidants which reduce the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Avoid vegetables like cabbages, cauliflower and broccoli among others as they interfere with the function of the thyroid.

People with this disorder should take their nutritional plans very seriously especially breakfast. Foods with carbohydrates will boost your energy levels.

Sugar is important though it should be minimal in your diet. However carbohydrates should be consumed on a moderate level as they may have negative effects on your system like constipation.

Instead of eating fatty meat like bacon and hamburger during breakfast go for healthier protein food.

Some patients have other conditions that may not allow them to consume some minerals like iodine in large quantities.

Eat fortified cereals, lentils among others instead of fatty meat.

Too much sugar will lead to weight gain. Avoid taking soft drinks like soda, processed juice and food stuffs like cakes and cookies during meals as it may not check on the reduction of some of the symptoms or signs.

If you feel the need to include sugary foods in your diet then it should in small proportions.

Don't be afraid to experiment by adding veggies and herbs.

It also important to take water especially when taking your medication instead of taking juice or soft drinks like soda.

The patient should have a proper hypothyroid diet breakfast as it is good for the body.
