Thyroid Weight Loss Success Story!
A reader writes: "Hi Mary -- I just wanted to let you know that I read your diet guide from beginning to end the first day I received it and started following it the next day. I have lost 3 pounds since!!!!! That is amazing since I have not lost one ounce in 2 years!!! (despite exercise 5 times per week and low cal diet) I follow the food guide and also I am taking CLA and Awe Slim. Also, I bought some coconut supplements today. I did not like the oil so these pills will be much easier to take. Anyway, thanks to you, I have a new sense of hope and empowerment over my weight issues. Thank you very much. -- Patty"

Find Out if Your Thyroid Is Causing Your Symptoms
Dr. Ken Woliner walks you through his detailed, step-by-step instructional guide that helps you and your doctor determine if your thyroid could be the cause of your symptoms. Find out the symptoms that should raise a red flag, how to measure your temperature -- including excellent instructions on how to monitor your basal body temperature! -- what your doctor should be looking for in a physical exam, and the various blood tests you can request. And Dr. Woliner answers the essential question: If you have normal laboratory tests: Could your thyroid still be causing your symptoms?

Is Coconut Oil a Thyroid and Diet Cure?
The May 20, 2003 issue of Woman’s World featured a story “The New Thyroid Cure,” claiming that coconut oil can "cure" your hypothyroidism and ensure rapid weight loss. I asked Dr. Ken Woliner to tell us whether it's too good to be true. Coconut oil proponent and author Dr. Bruce Fife's then weighed in with his support for coconut oil for thyroid and weight loss. And finally, Dr. Woliner's offered his analysis of Dr. Fife's arguments supporting coconut oil. Find out why Dr. Woliner still doesn't believe the claims that coconut oil can help thyroid or weight problems.

DietPower
Some experts say that if you simply write down what you're eating every day, you'll lose weight, even if you don't change another thing! That may be true, but if you use a program like DietPower, you'll discover that writing it down is just the beginning of an amazing exploration into what you're eating. How much fat are you REALLY eating? Are you getting enough -- or too much -- protein?
DietPower can tell you.
