Hashimoto Diet

Hi! I’m in and out using this app for years. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and put on Levothyroxine. I want to eat better, loose some weight, and get back in shape. There’s too much (mis)information on the “highway”. Everyone is an expert. So I guess I’m experimenting?

    Hello, and welcome (back?)!

    Have you read this IMO very good post here about hypothyroidism, written by a (maybe former) MFP-er who is a scientist in the field, himself hypothyroid, who lost weight by calorie counting:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10767046/hypothyroidism-and-weight-management

    I'm pretty severely hypothyroid, diagnosed around 23 years ago, properly medicated with levothyroxine (though I've needed occasional dosage adjustments along the way). I think it's not Hashi's in my case, though. Back in 2015-16, I used MFP to lose from class 1 obese to a healthy weight, and I've been at a healthy weight since, now age 68.

    I hope you're able to find a manageable path to your goals!
