That's crazy!

[gricat]

Hi guys, I struggle to lose not weight but fat around my thighs but with hypotheoitism.... It's unlikely I think. I take my pills anyway. The craziest thing of all is that I take 900 calories less a day I eat fruit vegetables nothing fried or processed and the app says that in 4 weeks I will be 45 kg!!! Now I am 50... 1,60 height and 30 years old and I do 3 times a week 2 hours cardio and Swedish gym. Is it because of my theroid or do I have to wait longer? It's been 2 weeks since I was diagnosed... Will this fat from my thighs go away.....?

That's true but is fructose different from sugar? Fruits have fructose and not sugar. Is it fattening too?

An under-active thyroid makes it more challenging but not impossible to lose weight. Be careful with the fruit as it has sugar.

I run on the treadmill covering  5 km 3 times a week following HIIT exercise apart from the other exercises (rowing, leg press, squats, exercises for inner thighs)

Thank you very much for your answer but I truly believe that you haven't read my post because all you suggest I do I have been doing them for more than 5 years!! I didn't know that I had problems with my thyroid and now I take the pill prescribed from my doctor of course... The fact that I call "crazy" in my post is that although my app says that I should take 1200 calories a day and I take 700 with my cardio exercise, it says that in 4 weeks I should be 45 kg but I am 50-51 kg every day without a change!! 5 kg is a lot and I am assuming that it is my thyroid's fault if I don't achieve this goal.....in addition I suspect thyroid for the fat around my thighs because my nutrition is flawless. No processed food no sweets no junk food only salads fruit oat eggs honey quinoa yogurt milk low fat e.t.c    So maybe thyroid does all the damage... After all I am not fat 1.60h 50kg

Before doing anything get the OK from your doctor!!

You can't spot reduce weight!!!
Training the area can improve their appearance but will not remove fat from the area. As I said, spot reduction of fat is impossible. To lose weight in that area as efficiently as possible, you'll have to stick to a regimen of diet and cardiovascular exercise as well.

Cardiovascular exercise. This, more than any direct muscular training, will burn the calories necessary to lose weight in your lower body. Plus, it will increase your natural metabolism, causing your body to burn calories faster than normal even while at rest. Each week, complete at least three cardiovascular exercise sessions, with each session lasting either 20 to 30 minutes of high-intensity activity or no less than 45 minutes of low-intensity activity. Acceptable activities include anything that causes a consistently elevated heart rate, such as aerobics.

Reduce the caloric content of your diet. No matter how hard you exercise, you'll never lose weight if you're consistently overeating. Take an inventory of the foods and drinks that you consume on a standard day, and use the relevant nutritional information to estimate your average daily caloric intake. Depending on the urgency and magnitude of your desired weight loss, decrease this figure by between 500 and 1,000. This will ensure that you'll lose between 1 and 2 lbs. per week. To reach this figure, eliminate junk foods from your diet. If this does not suffice, decrease your portion sizes as necessary. Be careful with the fruits! they contain sugar!!

Weight train your lower body at least twice each week. While this won't burn much fat, it will develop your lower body muscles, creating an appearance of increased leanness. At each session, select five exercises from the following list: squat, front squat, hack squat, split leg squat, leg press, lunge, leg extension, leg curl, standing calf raise and seated calf raise. For each exercise, complete between three and four sets of 12 to 15 repetitions, resting for a maximum of 60 seconds between sets.
google each exercise to see how to perform them.

I suggest buying  heart rate monitor at any sports store about $25.
Try doing the following exercise routine.

The Peak 8 routine it will quickly raise your heart rate 8 times for very short bursts, with a cooling
down period in between. Ideally you’ll be sprinting or cycling full throttle for 30 seconds with a 90
second cool down in between each outburst.
This is the fastest way to lose fat and build muscle in the body. Peak 8 actually stimulates the growth
hormone in the body. I encourage you to visit Dr Mercola’s site to learn more about Peak 8 fitness
because I personally feel that it is one of the best ways to exercise, especially considering the speed at
which you can lose fat and build muscle.
I highly recommend you read this article and watch the videos on the page. It will give you all the
information you need to know about Peak 8 – Flood Your Body With This “Youth Hormone” In Just 20
Minutes.
What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter
It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise
because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body. The links are

Figure your heart rate by this formula
The Karvonen Formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate zone.
The formula involves using your maximum heart rate (MHR) minus your age to come up with a target
heart rate range (which is a percentage of your MHR). Staying within this range will help you work
most effectively during your cardio workouts.
First thing in the morning before you get out of bed have a clock with a second hand and check your
resting heart rate then figure your rate by the Karvonen Formula
The following link will help you figure your heart rate by the Karvonen Formula.

You burn 30 percent more fat from doing cardio after a weights session as opposed to cardio on its own.
