To lose weight with hypothyroidism, you need a diet plan that is high protein and low glycemic. When you are hypothyroid, your body is not reacting "normally" to sugar.

Anybody who is having problems losing weight should follow these guidelines, but with hypothyroid patients, there is no way around it. Be good to your thyroid
