The first 3 examples you give can all be handled with self-discipline. Only the 4th must be learned.
- speeder 10y agoI have autoimmune hypothyroidism and didn't found yet a good treatment. Tell me, how I fix it with self-discipline? currently I am using discipline to lose weight, but my hair is falling, my feet skin is splitting open, my nails are breaking, and I am losing muscle faster than I lose fat. Any suggestions on what I should disciplined about?
- vonmoltke 10y ago> I have autoimmune hypothyroidism and didn't found yet a good treatment. The treatment is taking the appropriate dose of levothyroxine. It's very unfortunate that you have had a string of shitty GPs and endos, but to treat it you need someone to measure your T3 and TSH levels while gradually ratcheting up the synthetic hormone dose until your numbers are in the acceptable range.

- AstralStorm 10y agoGood luck handling first three with discipline. Make sure to run a placebo controlled trial of "discipline" and compare to results of insulin and thyroid hormones. You won't be able to, because it is considered unethical for a good reason.

- dragonwriter 10y ago> None of them cause weight gain All three of them do cause weight gain, actually; that is, any medical treatment of them will list something like "weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight" as a symptom.
- hasenj 10y agoWeight gain cannot occur without consuming excess calories. Your body cannot defy physics. Your body cannot create energy out of thin air.
- AstralStorm 10y agoDo you want to be hungry all the time? Because that is the result of the required diet (close to hardcore 1200 kcal CR bottom limit) to compensate for hypothyroidism. Essentially starvation. It is worse than drug cravings which tend to disappear after a short time. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. The body sadly seems to sense lack of input/output balance, not current energy state.
