onderaktiewe skildklier

yeah i am to lazy to translate that..
i have a friend,a girl,she is 24 and gained some weight the last 2 years. she says its the tyroid gland,skildklier right, diagnosed as such it seems. well,now,my question,how should this change the diet?
the dr have her on
breakfast low gi bread with cheese,one slice
lunch is fruits
supper is chicken or fish with veggies
each meal 270 cal
i think she weighs 65 about,aiming for 55.
does that diet make sense?even with the tyroid?she does gym,but moans about not wanting to build blah blah

she is starving herself.

I told her that. She said I should go and research the tyroid.:evil: So, what am I missing? Is the tyroid an excuse to starve? I really dont have that much respect for some docters.

I have a friend and some dr (homeopaat) put him on a rice cake diet for a while, weeks, I think he was allowed 5 or so rice cakes a day. Ridiculous, he is skinny now, dont wanna know how bad it was then

And quick fix will normally land up with a reverse effect.

Anyone looking for a quick fix is a lazy person. Anyone who doesn't want to put the time in at gym I don't waste my time providing advice.

Don't starve yourself, eat well, stop cheating on other crap, live a healthy life spend 5 days a week at a gym. Spend more time doing and less time moaning.

I do agree with that, but it is not the case here, the diet was prescribed by the docter and now she believes in it. I told her about the healthy living and and and, i have lurked a bit on this and other sites.

I just want to know how the thyroid problem would affect a good lifestyle diet? She says the thyroid thing was found and confirmed with blood test work and so, but she only went downhill in the last 2 years, so can it even be the thyroid that suddenly died in 2 years? or is the docter just cashing in?

i recon she needs to spark that metabolism! she needs to increase her proteins to 6 meals a day,she needs to have 3 servings of veg a day,3 carb meals and she needs to start exercising.

So the thyroid is no excuse. She is exercising, but I think its not very intensive. When I tell her she must work hard I hear the excuse that she doesnt want to build. Then I explain to her that she doesnt have enough testosterone but next month the same conversation. I will tell her to listen when she tires of getting no results...
Thanx, leka weekend to all

She just needs some motivatin to train, that's all. She knows she wont grow and she brings up the same conversation over and over as its her way of convincing herself that she doesn't need to train hard. Having a thyroid problem isn't an excuse, to some extent it is but you can learn to work around the problem instead of letting it take control over you.

Although if I was eating what she eats, I also wouldn't want to train, she must feel really run down and on a go slow all day, everyday.

Getting her motivated will really help I think, and maybe she must see another doc and get a second opinion
