A member asked:
What's the expert opinion, could the atkins diet help you to lose weight if you have an underactive thyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Brand name T4 replacement and getting your thyroid level back to normal will help. Then it's just eating fewer calories than you burn off -- just like everyone else. Avoid diets with names on them, learn to eat healthy for your own self and for the rest of your life.
