First, unless prescribed by your doctor, do not take it on your own. As a nutritional supplement it is not reccomended. Instead, try to get it from food.
Seaweed, any sea food, and onions are very rich in iodine.
There is also salt with iodine but I do not reccomend overdoing it because too much salt is bad for your body. Very bad even! The smallest thing that can happen is to make your body retain too much water. As for the worst things, there are too many, including increasing your blood pressure.
What they have in common? Iodine, probably, and the fact that they are healthy food.
Iodine can help you lose weight, but unless your doctor prescibes, don't start taking it on your own. It's better to get it from food that has it.
What works for me just fine? Well, sometimes I crave food in the evening, around 10 or 11pm. That is mostly because I go to bed at very late hours and I have a crazy schedule all day. How do I deal with the cravings?
1. Onion. I have it with cheese and nothing else. No bread, no nothing. I eat onion like a maniac when I get the chance and I love it. First, the combination is good, because the veggie goes perfectly with protein according to many diets. Second, the iodine helps lose weight. Third, the onion has fibers that also help lose weight. So I don't plan on putting on weight when I eat this late at night. Cheese is also good because it contains calcium, and calcium helps you lose weight also.
2. Lemon. Cheese with any salad that you can use lemon with. Or tea with lemon. Do not have more than one lemon or lime a day, however, because it is not good for the heart. Lemon also has iodine plus a lot of vitamin C. Vitamin C is both an antioxidant and a good fighter against colds and such.
3. Seaweed. It goes with anything, but don't combine with too many foods. Put it next to fish, and have your dinner. Seaweed and sea food, in general, plus fish, are rich sources of iodine and contain a lot of minerals and vitamins.
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.
I will share with you, step by step, everything I know. Free advice.
