Hashimotos?

Hi all! I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos disease (or as my husband so adorably likes to call it… Hashies :p) and I was curious if anyone else here suffers from it as well?

I have gained almost 40lbs in two years (albeit some of that was absolutely bad diet choices that I am correcting), and I am just looking for tips & tricks or what you’ve found makes yours better or worse.

Thanks so much! :)

    Hello!
    Sorry for your struggle, but you are not alone.
    I was diagnosed with "Hashies" 5 years ago while pregnant with my third daughter. I gained more with that pregnancy than any of my previous pregnancies and am STILL trying to get the weight off. My body just doesn't want to let it go! 🤪🤨
    There are lots of great books and resources available but something that has really helped me feel better has been the AIP diet (Autoimmune Protocol diet). Daily, I am trying to be consistent with eliminating all grains, dairy, potatoes, rice, nightshades and beans from my diet as this DOES help me lose a few pounds. (I had a really hard time eliminating eggs and nuts, which AIP recommends.)
    Mostly, a low carb diet focused on protein and veggies is the way to go.
    Best of luck on your journey! (Feel free to reach out if you want.)

    Hello! Also diagnosed with Hashies about 6 years ago with the removal of my thyroid completely. Feel free to add me, I recently had a pregnancy and am currently postpartum.
