Hypothyroidism affects the body in a number of ways, often resulting in excess weight gain, constipation, tiredness, fatigue and swelling of the face or hands. The decreased metabolic rate as a result of thyroid deficiency can be countered by coconut oil, which helps the body produce energy, rather than be stored as fat. Coconut oil also helps detoxify the body and stimulate urination, which can promote weight loss. By speeding up the metabolism, some additional weight loss can also be gained by adding coconut oil, milk and water to your hypothyroid diet.
