T3 Cytomel, aslo known as Liothyronine, is a drug used for the treatment of hypothyroidism or under active thyroid. T3 increases your metabolism so your body burns calories efficiently. To lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you consume. You may experience weight loss while taking T3, but use this as just one part of your weight loss solution. Modify your daily habits while taking T3 to increase your weight loss results.
Step 1
Take T3 according to your doctor's recommendations. Don't play with your dosage in an attempt to lose more weight.
Step 2
Create a calorie deficit. Write down everything you eat in a food journal or use an online program like LIVESTRONG's MyPlate. Monitor your calories for a few days to see the average number of calories you consume. Subtract 500 to 750 from your average to lose one to two pounds per week.
Step 3
Eat clean. Consume unprocessed foods like vegetables, lean beef, skinless poultry, eggs, coldwater fish, fruits, low fat dairy and healthy fats like nuts, olive oil and seeds. Natural foods take longer to digest so you stay fuller longer and eat less, notes MayoClinic.com.
Step 4
Perform cardiovascular exercise five days per week to burn fat stores. walk on the treadmill, step on the stairmaster, glide on an elliptical machine or ride a stationary bike for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Do circuit training three days per week for a muscle building and fat burning workout in one. Perform one weighted exercise per muscle group like chest press, tricep dips, lunges, push-ups and squats for one set of 15 repetitions. Rotate through each muscle group for 30 minutes. Keep your rest periods under 60 seconds to keep your heart rate elevated.
