Dietician: If your dose of eltoxin is appropriate as demonstrated by your TSH and other thyroid parameters, I recommend one visit with a registered dietician at your local hospital to determine your ideal weight and suggested daily calorie intake taking into consideration your level of physical activity. Your eating habits will be critiqued and a sample diet given. Unload 3500 calories a week to lose 1 lb!

Agree with Dr. C: Losing weight is not easy and it gets harder with increasing age. There is no way around reducing your intake of food and increasing physical activity. It may help to join a support group like Weight Watchers.
