How can i lose weight with an underactive thyroid

[Clutter]

First you need to be optimally medicated. Can you post recent thyroid tests with lab ref ranges and tell us what dose medication you're on?

Gluten-free and Paleo Diet have helped a lot of people but it is undoubtedly a struggle for many to lose any weight despite reduced calories and increased exercise.

Hello Zambia. I have a underactive thyroid and piled on many stones. I have tried dieting and really it doesn't work as you only pile it back on. Instead I eat 3 sensible meals a day and no junk food, cakes, biscuits or chocolate. It isn't easy but I have lost 1 stone 5 pounds in the last 10 weeks. Finding exactly the right food without over eating for you personally is the key. I have found that my metabolic rate is poor so eating junk is lethal. I can not burn it off. A lot of it is mind over matter. Not being tempted by what others are having. I have found that I don't lose weight every week even I eat exactly the same every day. It has to be the thyroid slowing down things. I am afraid doctors are not very helpful as I have found out.
