How can i lose weight if i have hypothyroidism? i see it says you only gain 5-10 pounds with hypothyroidism, but ive gained quite a bit. all my tests show that i have hypothyroidism. are there specific diets i can ask a nutritionist for?

Are you being treated for hypothyroidism with replacement medication? If not, do that at the earliest. If you are being treated adequately, then you need to reduce you food intake and consulting a nutritionist would be proper. Wish you good health!
