hypothyroidism or hashimoto's - need diet suggestions

aviduser

I am one of the few men with Hashimoto's. I am on 125 mcg Synthroid, recently upped from 112. I have been taking Synthroid for around 10 years now.

As far as weigh loss, once the thyroid meds are stabilized, it should not be an issue. I gained weigh with poor eating habits. Now I am losing weight with good diet and exercise.

And, for what it's worth, I lost about 10 lbs despite needing a slightly higher dose of Synthroid. If it is easier to gain weight and harder to lose it, we need to eat less and monitor our weight to work off the unwanted pounds as they appear.

That said, I still have 25 lbs to lose. But I am well on my way.
