I have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine. I only lose Weight when I do Keto. I exercise and eat a balanced meal but this usually maintains my weight. How can I ultimately utilize keto for my healthy lifestyle?

This was helpful. I started keto and my body temp is completely off. I learned the month I spent on the diet affected the hormones and caused some thyroid issues. Also discovered I have thyroid nodules.

I’m getting treatment. Still, I had no clue. Wish I’d read this first. 🙁

Interesting read. However, I have found inspite of working out 5x a week 3/4 classes of spin-hiit and 3/4 classes of bodypump (yes I double up some days) that I do not lose weight unless I am on an atkins, ketogenic, extremely low-carb diet. I have Hashimoto’s and was diagnosed at age 12 (I am 39) and my body disintegrated my thyroid – so no thyroid. I started out taking just synthroid, then in mid 20’s I put on 80 LBS in 3 months and my doctor added Armour and I lost the weight with diet/exercise (extreme intensity) and kept it off until I was 36 (had my 1st child at 32). At 36 I experienced exactly the same as when I was in my mid 20’s gained and excessive amount of weight in 3 months and could not lose it. My doctor increased my synthroid and took me off of Armour and put me on 10 MCG of Liothyronine and as stated above work out 5x a week pretty intensely, eating a pretty well rounded diet and sticking to under 1800 calories. This has been since Sept and it is now April and I have lost/gained the same 5lbs. So today I go back to the atkins/extremely low carb/ ketogenic model because for me that is the only thing that has worked in weight reduction.

I completed the Whole 30 which limited a lot of different types of food. The result was a loss of 15lbs, great skin, more energy and better eating habits. It also threw my levels way off and I had to increase my medication from 75 to 125mcg within 3 months. I am back up in weight and all the good of the 30 days is gone, but my levels are normal. My question… Which is more important, the levels being right or healthier weight and habits?

Interesting indeed, but quid goitres ? Nodules ? Do they react to keto and/or weight loss, just like T3 does ?
