Question:
I am a morbidly obese 31 y/o mother of 2 small children. I have hypothyroidism and am unable to be treated with the conventional hormone therapies. I want to try radically changing my diet and have recently gone nearly meatless as I still eat chicken and seafood. Besides letting go almost completely of caffeine, sugar, and salt, what else can I do to detox my system and really cleanse myself to sort of re-start my metabolism? Are there any really good foods to aid me? And what about antioxidants? What are they good for? As you can see, I am really uneducated in this area of holistic foods.
Answers:
I would suggest green tea, or slimming tea [i call them both green tea :P] you can get those at a local grocery store and they work wonders. It cleanses the system of toxins and it provides fast, temporary calorie burning. I have lost 2 pounds in one week just from having 2 cups of it but mostly I've noticed that i'm not as tired and my stomach, although not losing alot of weight, is still a flatter than what it was before. The longer you let the tea bag sit in the water, the more potent it is. It isn't alot, but every little bit counts. Good luck
