Weight loss with hypothyroidism can be challenging due to a slow metabolism, but it is achievable with the right dietary choices, timing, and a consistent exercise routine.
- Include complex carbohydrates like brown rice, oats, jowar, bajra and avoid refined carbohydrates like white rice, biscuits, maida, white bread etc.
- Include protein-rich foods such as chicken, fish, beans, legumes, sattu, paneer, tofu as protein provides fullness and also helps in weight management.
- Avoid raw cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and limit soy, as both can affect
thyroid function, always cook cruciferous vegetables before consumption.
- Combining resistance training with cardio like jogging, brisk walking, cycling which helps in fat loss and building muscle.
