Green Tea and Hypothyroidism - Help Weight Loss!

I am from Croatia. I am 24 years and suffer from hashimoto - hypothyroidism.

I have problems with acne for years now, and I have decided to start drinking green tea for that reason.

After maybe a week or two, I have controlled my weight and concluded that without any diet, without even exercise I have lost 4 kg - in other words some 8 pounds.

But I couldn't believe it so I made my mother in law check her weight and she said that everything is ok with the scale.

I have started noticing that my skin is looking better, as if the scars from acne are smaller. I don't know but I will definitely continue drinking it.

Now, I have just one question - I have read that green tea can slower the work of thyroid gland for the fluoride in it, does anybody have some experience with it?

Answer:

Hey, green tea works both ways for hypothyroidism. It contains antioxidants and caffeine, which help boost metabolism.

However, it also contains fluoride which may make hypothyroidism worse.

I hope this helps.
