I am new to this group and I also have hypothyroid. I believe that we need more calories to lose weight. I am wanting to know what reset is.

    Basically, this is upping your calories for awhile, at least to TDEE so that your body "resets" itself. If we go one a diet that is prolonged, sometimes this is necessary just to reboot your metabolism.

    Kikki has the following vid - check out the FAQ section - here is what she had: Should I eat at maintenance for a while? What is a metabolism reset? I haven't seen any results in 4-6 weeks..

    I am looking at bulking, but felt I should do the reset first. I'm almost 2 weeks in. Welcome to the forum!
