For thyroid patients, a weight loss diet and home remedies include eating iodine-rich foods like seaweed and dairy, zinc-rich foods like oysters and nuts, and selenium-rich foods like Brazil nuts and fish, while avoiding soy, gluten, and processed foods, and trying home remedies like drinking green tea, taking ashwagandha, and practicing yoga and stress-reducing techniques.
