 IS YOUR THROID MAKING YOU FAT?
Easy to read and understand and very helpful and informative.
I bought 5 to send to my family and friends.
Also a must read under the same topic is "Living Well With Hyopthyroidism"
by Mary Shomom. The book is full of helpful websites and informtaion on how to find good doctors that practice alternative medicine in every region of the country.

 Thyroid Making You Fat book
I just got this book out of storage to re-read and I realize it's wasted money. I am already on natural thyroid replacement and with that I have lost a lot of weight but to follow a 1000 calorie a day diet (in one place he says 800 per day) is impossible for me. My doctor wants me getting highly nutritous foods and there is no way on this amount. Plus, how many of us are willing to do this for not 1 week, not 2, but for 4 weeks! AND when I was doing aerobics religiously and following 1000 cal per day, I didn't lose weight but this is what he recommends. Never again.
I gave it 2 stars because it did convince me, a couple of years ago, to find a doctor who uses natural thyroid instead of just synthetics. If the synthetics work for you, hooray but they didn't for me.

No help ( susanflack )
I didn't find this book of any help. I was also already diagnosed but hoped to find a way to lose weight after 15 years of gradual increase in weight due to an underactive thyroid (hashimoto's thyroiditis). I couldn't possibly stick to this diet and decided that it wasn't worth trying anyway, just to find out what I know already. I had hoped it would teach me a way to eat that would help me lose weight, but it does not. It might just be of use to people who haven't yet been diagnosed, but I doubt it, because if the doctor hasn't diagnosed you yet, he is not going to do so on the basis of a book.

A Great Book To Fill in the Gaps That Your Doc Doesn't
After struggling with a low thyroid condition for 9 years, this book gave me information that was very helpful in understanding the reasons that synthetic thyroid hormone was no longer working. This book taught me that my weight is more of a reflection of how my thyroid gland is working more than what I was eating. It also helped me to understand why, that while eating 600-800 healthy calories per day and exercising 1 hour per day...I still wasn't loosing weight. Wish I would have read it a year ago!
