Don't Let Your Diet TANK Your Thyroid

Don't tank your thyroid. Don't have your diet tank your thyroid, especially when you're fasting. In order for your thyroid to function properly, you need about 1200 calories a day. So some of those more severe diets extended not fasting. When you're doing a low calorie for like four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, you can actually tank your thyroid. Your thyroid needs about 1200 calories a day. So again, think about that. You're doing your fasting interval fasting. You have your one day a week fast around your cycles. During the first part of your cycle, you have a high protein, low fat, you need more carbs when you ovulate. Then the next part of your cycle you can do have more significant fasting state. Then the week before your cycle, again, you need to have a little more carbohydrates and then you can actually go back to fasting during your period circle proper. But the thing about it is, if you do extended amount of low carb fasting for four, five, six weeks, you can actually tank your thyroid. So you really, really, really do not want to do that.
