Hypothyroidism and what has worked best for you?!
Replies

I was diagnosed when I was 19 - Hashimotos here too. I've been level for a long time, Thank God. My med dosage only changed while I was pregnant for my daughter. I know a lot of people do not have that luxury. There is a book called "Living Well with Hypothyroidism" that gave me a lot of good advice and ideas. It hits on all the different causes and gives some good tips. Real life though - "eat right and exercise" - as mundane as that sounds, limit bad carbs - eat a high protein and high fiber diet and stay active. I'm able to lose, but I gain very easily too when I slip and go off the wagon - so to speak. I rarely drink and I really watch what I eat - most of the time. We all have our binge moments of weakness. Long term though? It's simple, not easy, but simple.0

I used my hypothyroidism as an excuse for years and ended up 70lbs heavier. Lost 40 of those and will be back to my fighting weight. Once I realized it was nothing but an excuse life got simpler and better.0
