When thyroid levels are high (TSH around 13) and cholesterol levels are unstable, weight loss becomes challenging, but consistent dietary and lifestyle changes can significantly support overall health and metabolism. Here is what you can do: - Include more of lean protein in the form of dal, legumes, eggs, fish and lean chicken which will help support metabolism. - Choose complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat, millets, oats, brown rice and quinoa instead of having refined flour and sugar. - Add a lot of fruits and vegetables which has soluble fiber to help in weight management. Avoid having raw cruciferous vegetables as it will hamper your thyroid levels. - Nuts and seeds like walnuts, flaxseeds and chia seeds will help in managing cholesterol levels. - Include cardio as well as strength training to improve your metabolism.
