How can I manage weight gain with hypothyroidism?
Patient's Query
I am a 35-year-old woman with hypothyroidism and I've been experiencing weight gain. What are some effective ways to manage my weight?
Answered by Dr. Kanchan Jain
Hypothyroidism is often linked to weight increase because of slow metabolism. To control weight, eat a balanced diet with whole grains, fruits, and lean proteins while keeping the portion sizes in check. Integrating regular physical movement such as brisk walking or strength training into your life will also contribute to higher metabolism. The most important thing is to stay hydrated and get enough sleep. Therefore, checking your thyroid hormone levels with your doctor regularly is highly recommended, as adjusting the medication may be very beneficial. During an initial consultation, a diet specialist will establish a specific food plan for you.
