A member asked:
I want to start dieting and being a healthier person, i'm hypothyroidism, due to no thyroid, what diet is a good one to start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid first: Make sure your thyroid levels are normal on brand name T4 replacement, as generics are cheaper, but unreliable. Then get diet and exercise education and begin 3 meals/d without snacks or supplements, and exercise more. You need to find a way to eat for the rest of your life. Eat less than you burn off. It's 3500 per pound- gain or lose. The exact name of the diet is not important. You are!
