How fascinating that we can help our bodies shed excess weight by eating instead of starving and over exercising. I love knowing that what I’m putting in my body has a benefit. It’s guilt-free nourishment!<\/em> …And there are so many good things<\/em> out there to try. It’s very important according to all the sources I read, to eat things in their most natural state. No salt, sugar, dyes or chemicals added. Nuts and dried fruit for instance, must be eaten\u00a0Raw.<\/em><\/p>\n

Recently I tweaked 2 of my favorite recipes to be more thyroid-friendly <\/em>(Nutra Balls<\/strong> &\u00a0Granola Squares<\/strong>).<\/em>\u00a0I eat these every day!<\/p>\n

Nutri Balls<\/b><\/span> (great before a workout): 2T.<\/strong> Sunflower Butter, 1T.<\/strong> *Flax, 1T.<\/strong> *Chia, 1T.<\/strong> Hemp, 1T.<\/strong> raw Sesame Seeds, 1T.<\/strong> chopped raw Pumpkin Seeds, 1T.<\/strong> chopped raw\u00a0Almonds, 1T.<\/strong> Molasses, 2<\/strong> chopped Dates, 1T.<\/strong> Yerba Mate Tea (run through coffee grinder), 2T.<\/strong> plain dried Coconut. 1T.<\/strong> chopped raw Cashews, 3<\/strong> chopped raw Apricots. Mix. Roll into 12 balls- store in fridge. 63 calories each. <\/strong>*Grind the fax & chia seeds.<\/p>\n

Granola Squares<\/b><\/span> : 1C<\/strong>. Oats, 1\/2 C<\/strong>. Coconut flour, 2T<\/strong>. ground Yellow Peas, 1T<\/strong>. *Flax, 1T.<\/strong> *Chia, 1tsp<\/strong>. Cinnamon, mix<\/b><\/span>\u00a0with: 2T.<\/strong> Molasses, 4T<\/strong>. Yacon Syrup, 3T.<\/strong> Sunflower Butter, 1T.<\/strong> coconut oil, 1T.<\/strong> Hemp oil, 1T.<\/strong> Maca Powder, 1T.<\/strong> plain dried Coconut, 1T.<\/strong> chopped raw Almonds, 1T.<\/strong> chopped raw Sesame Seeds, 2<\/strong> chopped Dates, 3<\/strong> chopped raw Apricots. \u00a0Press into a sprayed square pan.\u00a0cook 350 for 15 mins<\/strong>. CUT into 16 bars. Store in fridge. 96 calories each. <\/strong>*grind the flax & chia seeds.<\/p>\n

Besides these yummy treats, the thyroid craves Iodine and Selenium<\/strong>\u00a0found in:
Flax seeds, Chia seeds, Hemp seeds (oil and protein), all Coconut,\u00a0raw dairy products (haven’t been heated to 180*), hormone-free chicken, turkey, grass-fed beef, wild saltwater fish and seafood (shellfish), eggs (with yolk), seaweeds, almost all nuts especially\u00a0Brazil nuts\u00a0(2\u00a0daily<\/strong>) and all seeds (like sunflower & sesame), mushrooms (especially crimini), onions, winter squash, parsley, garlic, celtic sea salt, molasses, apricots, prunes, dates and all Gluten-free grains<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I learned Goitrogenic foods<\/strong> (ones that enlarge the thyroid and generally aggravate the gland),\u00a0must be cooked<\/strong>: peanuts, peaches, pears, strawberries, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, spinach, mustard and mustard greens, turnip greens, radishes, rutabagas, pinenuts, millet, kohlrobi, linseed and cassava (known as Yuca, arrowroot, tapioca, manioc).<\/em><\/p>\n

If you truly have a thyroid issue- there were just a few Goitrogenic Foods<\/strong>\u00a0to avoid<\/em> as they impede the bodies ability to absorb iodine: Sweet Potato, Bamboo shoots, Soybeans and soy related products, Canola oil, Horseradish, Bok Choy, any Gluten grains, Garden Kris, Tempeh, and Babassu<\/em>. ***Caffeine, fluoride and plastics with\u00a0PBA -as with all chemicals are considered aggravators as well.<\/p>\n

Next time I’ll share more of my favorite recipes -like yummy Bean Burgers and my daughter’s Trail Mix. Until then, eat something healthy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
