    Paleo diet

    I second this! I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and my medication has been decreased twice in 7 months since I started Paleo.

    Thanks for the support! I was sort of expecting to be crucified. Lol but yes I have hashimotos too. I feel much better after the diet change.

    Why does Paleo help this? (not attacking, genuinely curious.) I take Levothyroxine for mine.

    If you have a specific question, you'll probably get a lot more information.

    Sometimes gluten-free helps hashimotos or other autoimmune issues. Which may be one reason people have suggested/are having success with paleo.

    Healthy diet and lots of exercise (resistance and cardio). I find keeping protein high and carbs reasonably low works for me, but everyone is different, you have to see what works for you. Whilst it is often harder for us to lose weight, it is possible, it just happens sloooooooooooowly :sad:
