The thyroid is responsible for setting the body’s metabolic rate.
It dictates how many calories you burn for every physiologic, metabolic, and physical task.
In addition to being one of the master controllers of metabolism and calorie burning, the thyroid contributes to mental and emotional well being, influences cognitive function, and even impacts sexual desire and function.
Almost every diet out there relies on ketosis for fat loss! So...
How exactly do you get into ketosis? Simple!

Below are 10 fat burning foods that are the fastest way to lose belly fat and BOOST your Thyroid.
Food Hack #1 Brazil Nuts
Brazil nuts are a particularly rich source of selenium, and research has shown that Brazil nuts are more effective than supplements at raising blood levels of selenium.
But Brazil nuts aren’t a one-trick pony, as they are also a good source of magnesium and copper, two additional thyroid support nutrients.
Food Hack #2 Sea Vegetables
Iodine is a fundamental building block in the production of thyroid hormone, and if you don’t have enough in your diet, thyroid function will be compromised.
Iodine deficiency is one of the leading causes of thyroid dysfunction.
Approximately 40% of the world’s population is at risk for iodine deficiency.
Food Hack #3 Eggs
Just like wild salmon, eggs are one of the few good dietary sources of vitamin D, but that’s not all.
Eggs are a very good source of two more important nutrients for optimal thyroid function: selenium and iodine.
Just three eggs provide 84% of recommended daily values for selenium, 54% for iodine, and 33% for vitamin D.
Food Hack #4 Wild Salmon
It’s crucial to ensure adequate vitamin D consumption through dietary and supplemental sources.
The best dietary sources of vitamin D are fatty fish, especially wild salmon, which also happens to be a good source of iodine.
What’s more, wild salmon contains omega-3 fats, which help support optimal thyroid function both directly (e.g., enhancement of thyroid action) and indirectly (e.g., promoting a healthy inflammatory response and enhancing immunity).
Food Hack #5 Pumpkin Seeds
Like sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds are a rich source of micronutrients that play a key role in thyroid health and thyroid hormone conversion.
Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of copper, providing 48% of the recommended daily intake in just a half-cup serving.
What’s more, pumpkin seeds are also a good source of both zinc and iron, providing 23% and 16% of the daily recommended intake, respectively, per half-cup.
Food Hack #5 Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are packed with essential nutrients that support healthy thyroid function.
They are an excellent source of copper and a good source of iron, and inadequate levels of both copper and iron have been linked to low concentrations of active thyroid hormone, T3.
Food Hack #6 Spinach
Just a single cup of cooked spinach is an excellent source of the following nutrients that have all been shown to support thyroid health and function (percentage of daily recommended intake):
• Magnesium (39%)
• Iron (36%)
• Copper (34%)
• Zinc (12%)
• Vitamin A (105%)
Food Hack #7 Grass Fed Beef
Beef from pasture-raised cattle is packed with nutrients that help support healthy thyroid function.
In fact, grass-fed beef is a very good source of:
• Vitamin B12
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Selenium
• Zinc
What’s more, a 3-ounce serving of beef is also a good source of iron, providing 16% of the recommended daily value.
While many foods in the diet contain iron, it is not always easily absorbed depending on the source.
For instance, iron from plant-based foods (i.e., non-heme iron) is not well absorbed. On the other hand, heme iron, which is found in beef and other animal-based foods, is much more readily absorbed.
Not only that, combining sources of heme iron with non-heme iron (e.g., beef plus veggies) increases the amount of non-heme iron absorbed.
This is often referred to as the “meat factor” of iron absorption.
Food Hack #8 Fermented Foods: Kombucha, Greek Yogurt & Sauerkraut
Last on the list, but certainly not least, are fermented foods.
Gut health and the gut microbiome can play a tremendous role in thyroid health, and gut dysbiosis (i.e., a lack of healthy bacteria) can have wide-ranging negative effects on thyroid function.
This is why it’s very important to support gut and thyroid health by eating plenty of probiotic-rich foods, and three of the top options are kombucha tea, sauerkraut (and other fermented vegetables), and Greek yogurt (and other fermented dairy, like Kefir).
Food Hack #9 Cashews
Besides sesame seeds, cashews are the next best whole food source of copper, providing 98% of the recommended intake in a quarter cup serving.
Cashews are also a good source of both magnesium and zinc, providing 29% and 21% of the recommended daily intake, respectively, per quarter cup serving.
Food Hack #10 &11 Scallops and Shrimp
These two foods from the sea are excellent sources for a number of key nutrients involved in thyroid health and function.
For example, a 4-ounce serving of shrimp packs the following (percentage of daily recommended intake):
• Selenium (102%)
• Vitamin B12 (78%)
• Copper (32%)
• Iodine (31%)
• Zinc (17%)
• Vitamin A (11%).
• Zinc (16%)
What’s more, shrimp are also a good source of omega-3 fats, which, as previously mentioned, have both a direct and indirect impact on thyroid function.
Besides sea vegetables, scallops are the next richest whole food source of iodine, providing 90% of the recommended daily intake in a 4-ounce serving.
What’s more, scallops also contain a number of other nutrients involved in optimizing thyroid function:
• Vitamin B12 (102%)
• Selenium (45%)
• Zinc (16%)
• Magnesium (10%)
What’s Next?
The ketogenic diet is the hottest diet of 2018 because it helps you quickly lose stubborn fat… it reduces fat storing inflammation… it helps you live longer and avoid today’s most deadly diseases.
But there are several problems that accompany a “traditional” high fat keto diet:
- You like to eat carbs?….You are out of ketosis.
- Want to eat some healthy, ripe fruits that are in season?….You are out of ketosis.
- Too much protein in that delicious steak or baconyou just ate?….You are out of ketosis.
- Want to have a glass (or two) or red wine, a few beers, or cocktails? You guessed right….You are out of ketosis.
Bottom line:
Permanent ketosis is not healthy, fun, OR realistic for anybody to follow long term, which is exactly why there’s a new, upgraded version that produces rapid results in only 14 days
It’s called, The “Targeted” Keto Diet and people have used it to drop pounds of unwanted belly flab, WITHOUT avoiding carbs, desserts, or alcohol
It all started by eating the 4 SUPER FATS below at the right time over a very short 14 day period (a few of them are probably in your kitchen right now)…
