Hello! take small n frequent healthy meal. Stay away from preserved food, ready to eat foods, deep fried food, sugar n sweet items n do exercise for at least 45 min a day. If possible take a good diet chart from a dietitian.

Usually hypothyroid patients are overweight due to the swelling. Check your tsh level in every six month. When the tsh level is normal you will loose extra weight.
