Hello,

I can understand your concern. Your situation is such that that you will always have to be careful regarsing your diet and weight as little carelessness can make you obese.

As you have already started on thyroid medications along with other nutrient supplements, losing weight would be little easy than before as you do not lack hormone support as a cause of weight problem.

Start regular exercises. Join a gym nearby if possible. Long walks, jogging, bike riding, swimming and yoga can help.

Have water before meals. Do not indulge into restaurant or junk food. Avoid day time naps. Do not overeat at one time. Instead, eat small portions of healthy food at a gap of 2-3 hours throughout day. Drink lots of fluids. Have more of fruits and leafy vegetables and less of fat containing food. You will get there with persistence, patience and hard work.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic.

Best,
