A member asked:
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and i want to loose about 20 lbs. how much fat and calorie intake should i was diagnosed with each day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NOT ONLY CALORIES!!!: If you are not taking enough thyroid medication or aren ot taking the correct type of thyroid medication, you will not lose weight because you will not burn calories normally if you do not have enough thyroid to govern your metabolism! ideally, you should eminiate carbs and live only on proteins and fats. I hope this helps.
