Thyroid med: Take the prescribed dose of thyroid medication and you will gradually have normalization of your metabolism. In the meantime you can eat high protein meals if you feel the need to increase your weight.

Eat more: Hypothyroidism generally leads to weight gain, not loss. If your thyroid level has been replaced with an appropriate dose of brand name t4, then you will gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn off. That is not a common problem in todays's society. If you continue to lose weight unexpectedly, consult your physician for a full evaluation.
