Thyroid (Hypothyroidism)
Underactive Thyroid
People with sluggish metabolism, fatigue, unexplained weight gain despite eating less
Training Protocol
Resistance training is essential — builds metabolic rate. Start light, progress slowly. Energy levels will improve after 3–4 weeks of consistent training.
Nutrition Strategy
Adequate iodine (iodised salt), selenium (2–3 Brazil nuts/day), avoid excessive raw cruciferous vegetables (goitrogens). Track calories — metabolism is genuinely lower, so portions matter more.
What To Avoid
Very-low-calorie diets (further slows metabolism), excessive soy, relying only on thyroid medication without exercise.
