Low carb high fat for me. Lost 13kg. No grains, no potatoes no sugar. Real food, good nutrition. Carbs affect your appetite. Break your addiction.

I honestly feel I have been doing that for weeks now but nothing changes.

My mum has had Thyroid medication for 20 odd yrs. She was size 22/24. Tried every diet but she couldn't lose weight. She has now lost 2st on Slimming World. If you haven't tried it maybe give it a go.

I've lost weight on Slimming World too and it's just sensible eating really not starving yourself.

Far from starving yourself - she couldn't cope with how much food she had to eat! haha

Make sure your TSH, T3 & T4 are optimal. (Not just in range.)

Make sure your iron, B12, ferritin & folate levels are optimal (not just in range.)

Don't exercise until your T3 is optimal.

Follow a low carb/low sugar diet.

Give up gluten totally if you have hashis. Some non hashis also benefit from a lack of gluten. (Do not replace with gluten free products though!)

Good luck!
