Are You Paying to Get Fat? What You Need to Know About
Thyroid Nutrition and Emotions
By Magdalena Wszelaki
As a woman, I want to look and feel great. That means having a flat stomach, firm arms (I
will admit hanging arm pouches terrify me), clear skin, great hair and lots of energy to get
me through the NYC summer madness of concerts, cocktails and lots of body exposure.
Do you too? Yeah, I thought so.
Do you know women who are perpetual dieters, who spend 10-20% of their income on
diets? It's kinda boring or heart breaking to hear about their next dietary quest when your
secret inner voice whispers "Oh dear, I really hope this one works for ya."
Whether it is you and someone you know, I want to help you understand something: DIETS
DO NOT WORK.
We lose the pounds because we deploy all sorts of tricks. The results are: deprivation of
nutrients your body needs, therefore cravings kick in and you crash and binge on the 6-
month mark.
70% of people who do restrictive diets put these pounds back on, and 50% of them put on
even more before they started. Are you kidding me? No.
Are we paying to get fatter?
As a health and nutrition coach, I want to explain why. And most of it is not knowledge
offered by Weight Watchers, Atkins, Zone, Paleo fans and the likes as they have no business
(or perhaps awareness) in telling you this.
So here are the "weight loss" industry dirty secrets.
There are several major deal breakers that will sabotage your weight; addressing them is
critical in weight management. You can starve yourself to 500 calories/day and still have a
fatty belly. Here are two deal breakers and a glimpse at some quick solutions:
Emotions, emotions and more emotions!!!
This is a HUGE one and the most overlooked sabotaging factor in weight management,
probably because it requires skills to peel off many layers to uncover why we do thing the
way we do.
Let me give you an example: I recently worked with a woman who grew up in a strictly
religious household and was conditioned to believe that boys and sex were "bad". As a
rebellious girl, she became highly promiscuous in her early teenage years and carries that
guilt with her till today. She never maintained a lower weight for longer than 3 months as
her sense of guilt for being overly attractive always kicks in. This is when she goes back to
binging so she can put back on that weight, make herself less attractive so her guilt was
lessened.

Can you see how our emotions, "the story" many of us have would totally sabotage our
efforts? So what is your story? What fear do you have? Is fear the force behind losing
weight? Is losing and regaining weight a control issue for you? What negative emotions
make you take action?
So what can I do?
Seek the help of a life coach, a health coach, an insightful friend who will help you identify
what is your sabotaging "story". Identify it first before you go on another diet. In fact, it's
very likely that this very "story" has a profound impact on many other facades of your life.
You are welcome.
Hypothyroid
What? Yes, since thyroid became my focus area, I've discovered that only half of the female
population gets diagnosed with a thyroid condition. There are an estimated 27 million
thyroid-compromised people in the US alone, this means 13.5 million do not know they
have it. Ouch.
A slow thyroid called hypothyroid effects:
· metabolism: stubborn weight that just won't go away (right?) even though the diet and
lifestyle have been the same
· nervous system: depression, foggy brain, forgetfulness
· digesting system: bloating, constipation, indigestion
· adrenal system: fatigue, moodiness.
Many, many women have a thyroid condition even though their blood work shows normal
"thyroid". This is too long of a topic for this article but I would be happy to explain more.,
How to fix it?
You have these options:
· See an endocrinologist; he/she will get on hypothyroid medication that typically works for
3-6 months then the symptoms return
· Research a holistic approach of diet + movement + managing emotions and cure yourself,
the way I did (watch below)
Learn how your emotions, common thyroid problems in women, sugar or candida and poor
thyroid nutrition are sabotaging your weight loss efforts. Don't pay to get fat. Read about
the other critical weight loss breakers and the effects of poor thyroid nutrition.
