Hello dear, Given the case history that you have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, wight gain is bound to happen. This is due to derangement of body metabolism which is regulated by thyroid hormones. Management involves intake of Thyroid supplements (Eltroxin) as prescribed by your treating Doctor. Kindly continue them as advised. In addition, equal importance should be given to both diet & exercise. So, a low calorie low fat diet and regular exercise should be followed such as: 1. Avoid eating white breads, rice and pasta. They have high calories and increases the blood sugar level. 2. It is better to have complex carbohydrates such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal and brown rice. 3. Consume low fat versions of milk and cheese and avoid oily foods. 4. Have a diet rich in low calorie protein foods such as egg whites, skinless chicken, fish, etc. 5. It is better to avoid soft drinks and fruit juices which are rich in calories. Instead, drink large amount of water (about 6 to 8 glasses) throughout the day. 6. Dietary fiber such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts can also be included in the diet. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
