Review

'Mary Shomon provides a comprehensive service for sufferers of thyroid disease.' TIME --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description

Is an undiagnosed thyroid condition causing you to pack on the pounds?

For more than 25 million Americans it may be, due to the metabolic slowdown of a malfunctioning thyroid gland. The Thyroid Diet will help many previously unsuccessful dieters get diagnosed and treated -- and proper thyroid treatment might be all that’s needed to successfully lose weight. Even after optimal treatment, however, weight problems plague many thyroid patients. For those patients, The Thyroid Diet will identify the many frustrating impediments to weight loss, and offer solutions-both conventional and alternative -- to help. Discussing optimal dietary changes, thyroid-damaging foods to avoid, and metabolism-supporting herbs and supplements, it contains several different eating plans, food lists, and a set of delicious and healthy gourmet recipes. With handy worksheets to use in weight-loss tracking and a special resource section featuring Web sites, books, and support groups, here is vital help for millions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved My Life, Mar 22 2010
This review is from: The Thyroid Diet: Manage Your Metabolism for Lasting Weight Loss (Paperback)
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism over 10 years ago and I wish I had a copy of this book then. The information in this book is invaluable. By trying certain suggestions I have alleviated almost all of my symptoms that left me with no energy and the best part is that I have been able to lose over 30lbs. I have more energy than ever before and can tell when my thyroid is acting up and needs to be checked. I would recommend this book to anyone who suffers from some form of thyroid disease.

1.0 out of 5 stars TheThyroid Diet, Feb 1 2005
By Nxxxx - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Thyroid Diet: Manage Your Metabolism for Lasting Weight Loss (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed with this book. It is about how to know if you have hypo- thyroid, (why would you buy it if you didn't know) how to get doctors to give you the appropriate tests, and then how hard it is to loose weight if you are hypothyroid. I expected a book that described types of food or exercise that would be helpful for people who have hypothyroid. Instead, this author basically said,' Different diets work for different people, try Atkins, weight watchers, counting calories, whatever you think might work, and stick to whatever works for you'

Thanks for the tip! I never would have thought of that.

The bottom line is: Don't bother getting this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a diet, July 6 2007
By Sandra Pottorff "Sandy Pottorff" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Thyroid Diet: Manage Your Metabolism for Lasting Weight Loss (Paperback)
This is not a diet, it is an overview of all the other stuff Shomon has out. It is a recommendation of how to manage your thyroid, if you haven't read anything or are just finding out about a thyroid problem, it has lots of information, but if you have had thyroid problems and know about them, it is the same stuff you've always heard. I didn't learn anything new, and it really isn't a diet............is was disappointed. No new answers for those of us who are being treated with medication. If weight is a problem, as I have with thyroid problems, this is not the answer..........

5.0 out of 5 stars First Time I've Been Able to Lose Weight in Years!, April 19 2005
By Paula Desena "Paula" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Thyroid Diet: Manage Your Metabolism for Lasting Weight Loss (Paperback)
I really am glad I found Mary Shoman's "Thyroid Diet" book. I have been hypothyroid for a few years, and I never had a weight problem in the past. But the weight creeped up and by the time they diagnosed me, I had gained something like 40 pounds. (I never found out the final #, cause I wouldn't even look at the scale at my highest. UGH!) I felt awful, and I tried every single diet program out there, I did no-carb, I did low-fat, I did low-cal, and I just kept gaining weight, or I didn't lose anything.

It was ridiculous. My doctor said that my thyroid had nothing to do with anything, but I knew, I just KNEW that my thyroid had something to do with it, because, for goodness sake, I never had an extra pound on me until the thyroid problems started up and I started with hypothyroidism.

A friend of mine who is also hypothyroid told me that she had some success following some things she'd read from Mary Shoman at her website, and so I decided to get this book. It's been a real godsend, because for the first time in about 5 years, I've actually been consistently losing weight. First it was just a few pounds, really slow, but I LOST!!! I've started taking a couple of vitamins that she recommends, and I think that's helping too, but the overall diet is what's making the difference. I'm eating, but I finally feel like I'm eating the RIGHT things, and believe me, you can go spend 7 a week, or 20 a month, or 2000 a year at a local weight loss program, but if you don't lose weight and you tell them you have a thyroid problem, they're going to tell you you're not "doing the program right." And Shoman doesn't tell you that...she knows how the thyroid affects weight, and she explains it, she interviewed doctors who also talk about leptin, and metabolism, and the impact of thyroid on blood sugar, timing of food, and the best thyroid medicines and such...all things I think are what helped me sort of break the "losing streak" I had at weight loss! I even had a blood sugar test I read about in the book, and the doctor says I could be headed for pre-diabetes, so I definitely am doing the right thing by losing weight!

There is definitely no magic diet cure -- wish there WAS!! -- with a thyroid problem or otherwise, but I feel like with Thyroid Diet, I at least have a fighting chance to figure out what foods, calorie levels, supplements, and other sorts of approaches might actually make a difference for me.

I really recommend this book. I got it January of 2005, and as of April, I'm already down 20 pounds!!!

Can't argue with success, right? ;-)
