Has anyone lost weight by being on the Atkins Diet after a thyroidectomy? :smile:

    Please be careful doing the Atkins diet sweetie. I don't know anything about not having a thyroid or the diet changes you will have to make, but I got really really sick doing Atkins and didn't lose that much weight. I believe our bodies need carbohydrates to function properly and boost metabolism. Good luck to you! :wink:

    I have had my thyroid removed. My doctor put me on the zone diet. Which is basically 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I have lost 28 pounds following this plan.

    Atkins isn't 'no carbs' it's 'low carbs'. We all have to find what works for us as all our bodies are different!

    Maybe the first step would be to consult your doctor OP?
