By fasting 16-18 hours per day a couple times a week or more, you can reset your thyroid and lose weight easier. Try eating for an 8 hour window. During the fast you’re allowed coffee with coconut oil, heavy cream, collagen powder and flavoring like spices or stevia. Like: hot mocha; 8 oz coffee, 1 tsp collagen powder, 1 tbs coconut oil, 2 tbs heavy cream, 1 tbs cocoa powder, 4 drops of vanilla stevia.

I’m going through a difficult time. Nothing stays the same forever. i’m not worried about it.
After fasting a few times and then going off the fast with a binge, my thyroid got slower. You could argue that I’m doing it wrong, but most people would binge after starving themselves. At the end, the temptation to just eat whatever is too great for some people (like me).

If you want to increase your metabolism, the only solution is to eat right and move more. You could even just walk more.
There is no “reset” button because your body is acting correctly according to how you treat it.

If your thyroid isn’t functioning properly you need a doctor, not a fad diet.

There’s a lot to be said tho about intermittent fasting, including that it helps with aging and stuff. This kind of fasting has always been found throughout cultures in the past- it’s practiced even during Ramadan and stuff.
I used to fast intermittently during college and it worked well for me- I didn’t have thyroid issues tho. I’d do it now but I workout frequently and often need to break the fast with protein rich foods in order to power through.
If u can’t push urself throughout the day during your fast maybe try a ketogenic diet- I’m on it and it works wonders, it also has good effects on psychosis I’ve read as well!
Fasting isn’t the solution.
@anon1571434 is right.
Eating right and moving more is more practical.

Fasting leads to nothing good. All youll get is hunger headaches.
I don’t know if its because this article calls for mini-fasts of just 16-18 hours. Was a good article. People seemed to lose a lot of weight.
