Hello Komal
I have hypothyroidism.
I started gaining weight in 2015.
I am taking regular medication and following a strict diet yet I am unable to lose weight.
I walk 30 minutes every day.
I am 42 years, my height is 5 ft 2 in and I weigh 73 kg. Please suggest a simple diet plan.

Ans: Hypothyroidism is a lifestyle condition which can be improved by incorporating healthy lifestyle changes.
As metabolism is lowered in hypothyroidism, follow a diet with adequate protein, low carb and low fat.
Include lots of fruits, vegetables and nuts to add fibre.
Avoid eating vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and soya, which contain goitrogens, in raw forms and large portions.
Adopt regular exercise schedules which include cardio activities and strength training exercises.
Drink lots of water to remain hydrated.
