I am still under active and was told it will be that way for the rest of my life, I must take Levothyroxine every day except 1. I do it 6 days a week. I did mention to my Dr the additional testing that can be done but I can't remember everything he said but he was not convinced it would be of any benefit to me. I even printed some link I got with what exactly I was talking about. He wanted to keep it and read it, so I won't see him till October.
Consume more complex carbohydrates, such as brown rice, brown pasta and whole wheat bread, one to two weeks before you begin your training program. Complex carbs contain energy in the form of glucose, which will provide your muscles with the necessary fuel before you begin training. Complex carbs contain essential nutrients and minerals that will help your body develop after working out. A slice of wheat bread, or one half cup of white or brown rice, is a serving of complex carbs.
oatmeal for breakfast, whole wheat breads, oatmeal cookies, bran muffins, whole-wheat pasta, and brown rice. Serve fruit and vegetables in any form, raw or cooked. Salads are great if she will eat it. The most important aspect to increased fiber is increasing your fluid intake. Fiber is great for increased bowel movements; however, it needs fluids to get through the colon. Suggest you limit rice, bananas, and fresh apples.
If you are still using white bread try switching to wheat, spelt, rye bread etc.
Eat a snack between meals, like whole wheat pasta with olive oil or a sandwich on whole-wheat bread. It is OK to eat pastries or cookies every once in a while if weight gain is the goal, but not very often!!
Healthy liquids like milk, orange or pomegranate juice add to your diet. Not sugary drinks like sodas and sweetened teas. You should not drink liquids with meals because it can fill you up and lower your caloric intake.
You want to eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables, avoid trans fat and bad carbs like white bread, opt for whole wheat instead. IF your doctor has cleared you for exercising, start with walking, you can do this anywhere and at your own pace. Also, it's best to eat very small healthy meals every 3-4 hours instead of 3 bigger ones. This keeps you full and your metabolism at it's peak! Good luck to you!
Whole wheat bread is wheat that is not milled as much so it contains the wheat fibers (that is why it is darker in color) as opposed to white bread. Soft wheat does not have much fiber as whole wheat bread. Multi-grain and whole grain breads have added grains/seeds, such as oatmeal, and sesame seeds. The label will list the additional 'grains'.
As for meal plans, combining complex carbs and protein is your best bet for gaining muscle. Good meal choices are eggs and whole wheat toast with, lean meats with baked potatoes or whole grain rice/pasta (veggies don't hurt either ;-)), and protein bars/shakes with banana or peanut butter as snacks in between. The trick is to sneak in calories where you can. On the days that you hectic schedule doesn't leave you much time to cook, meal replacement shakes will be a big help.
its should be rich in proteins,carbohydrates,antioxidants,minerals,vitamins.for example in breakfast ucan have half boiled or soft boiled eggs(1-2) with whole wheat/soy mix stuff,peanutbutter,any organic soy-based milk product.in lunch ucan have lean meat(salmon/fish produts) with legumes and nuts.ucan have fruit with that.evening ucan have any mixture of fruit juices.at night ucan have soy based meal with soups of different combos(veg-non veg with soy based bread prodcuts).
Stomach fat or visceral fat is very insulin sensitive. If you want to get rid of belly fat it would be suggested to cut down on sugar and carbs and eat a low carb diet.
All carbs and high glycemic foods will spike insulin. If you didn't know a slice of bread will spike you blood sugar more than the same amount of calories in pure sugar! This is because wheat has and carb called amylopectin type A which is only found in wheat. This is a super carb. Most foods have type b and c.
