I'm a vegan and has thyroid.
Hi! I had my first thyroid test done in March 2016 and my TSH came as 74. Before i got my test done, I had put on 15 kgs of weight in just a month (doctors said it is due to fatigue and stress). Since March 2016, I have been using Thyronorm 100 mcg medicine and my weight was 58kgs (including my 15kgs). I didn't decrease atleast 1 kg while i was on medication. Recently, I got my thyroid test done and my TSH came as less than 0.01 and I didn't see any change in my weight. As the TSH is very low they asked me to stop my medicine and I noticed that i'm feeling more hungry and increase in weight. My body posture, mood swings, laziness and breathing issues are being a major problem due to weight. I'm 24 yrs now, 5 ft tall woman and a vegan. I would like to include a vegan protein powder in my diet to reduce weight. Can you suggest me any such protein powder or can you suggest me what I should do with my situation yo get fit and active. Thank you

Instead of stopping  you can reduce the dose of thyronorm to 50 mcg and you will not put on weight and you will start feeling better.
