T3

Published: Tue, 12/30/14

Did you know that your thyroid gland
regulates your metabolism? Well, thanks
to environmental factors and over processed
foods, most people have thyroid glands that
are not working well.

That could mean that you have a "broken"
metabolism that could be making you fatter.

You see, over processed foods are lacking the
nutrients that your thyroid needs to optimize your
T3 hormone. Your T3 (or Triiodothyronine)
regulates fat, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism,
so it's a very important hormone for fat loss.

Here are the 3 best ways to increase T3 levels and
flip 3 of your Internal FatBurning switches to "on". . .

1. Eat enough calories.

When people go on a diet, they often drop their
calories way too low. When your body feels that it is
starving, it lowers its metabolism and holds on to
body fat for "survival." Make sure you consume
enough calories - no less than 1200 for women and
at least 1800 for men (though for most, 1600 and
2100 are more appropriate minimums). 

2. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet.

In addition to getting enough calories, make sure
the foods you choose are rich in nutrients. The
efficiency of T3 is impaired if you aren't feeding
your body the minerals it needs to produce it,
especially selenium, iodine, and zinc. Selenium
is found in nuts, seeds, bran, oats, and most all
seafood. Iodine is found in shellfish, beans,
sesame seeds, spinach, and squash.

And zinc is mostly found in crab, dairy, chicken,
turkey, nuts, and beans.

3. Take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement.

If you have trouble getting selenium, iodine, and
zinc from food, take a multi-vitamin and mineral
supplement. Look for a supplement that has
50 mcg of selenium, 150 mcg of iodine, and
11 mg of zinc.

and making you fatter. My friend and metabolism
