A member asked:

Why is it so seemingly impossible to lose weight with hashimotos? i've tried everything. is there something specific i should focus on doing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If your: Thyroid level has been returned to normal with an appropriate dose of brand name t4, then you should be able to lose weight just like anyone else -- by burning off 3500 calories that you don't take in to lose a pound.
