    I have hypothyroidism. I have been recently reading about different diets for people with hypothyroidism. I have yet to try any but if it helps you, I have been just eating at a deficit and have lost 12lbs in the last 40ish days.
    I did however find that I was feeling sluggish so I started taking B complex which is good for thyroid and metabolism and I do feel a lot better and more energized.

    I haven't noticed any benefit to eating LCHF (ketogenic levels) on my hypothyroidism, by my thyroid is fairly close to non-functioning. I've been LCHF for about 2 years.

    LCHF DID help a lot with my insulin resistance and my autoimmune arthralgias though.

    Good luck.
