Lose weight

[Happy7]

Hello everyone, I am hypothyroid and would like to know if anyone has any tips on how to lose weight and boost my metabolism? I eat healthy food, only organic home cooked, exercise regularly.

If you're not optimally medicated then losing weight is difficult. Can you post your latest results, with reference ranges, for members to comment. Ideally we need

TSH

FT4

FT3

Thyroid antibodies

Vit D

B12

Folate

Ferritin

I will post my results as soon as I return home, I am away on holiday now. Thanks

If you haven’t got any results, you can go and ask at your doctor’s - you have a right to see your results. How much levothyroxine are you prescribed?

I would echo SeasideSusie’s comments; if you are not optimally medicated it is very difficult to lose weight. I used the 5:2 diet as it suited me and continue to have ‘diet days’ now and again as they are supposed to help ones health

I stay hungry.
