Some key takeaways on hypothyroidism and weight loss include:
If you truly have hypothyroidism, taking medication is crucial. While nutrition is really important for weight management and overall wellness, there are studies that indicate negative effects in patients who stopped taking medication.
Our bodies are so complex and nuanced. Don’t fall for anything that says it’s a “one size fits all” approach. Work with a team of registered dietitians who can personalize their approach and troubleshoot until they find something that works for you.
A focus on decreasing inflammatory foods and increasing anti-inflammatory is important to everyone, but especially to our clients with hypothyroidism. Allow yourself a couple of fun foods per week that you really love, but keep healthy snacks on hand to avoid overdoing it on processed or sugary foods.
