Thyroid and weight loss have been common problems among women. The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped organ situated in the middle of the neck. It is one of the largest endocrine glands and helps in the secretion of many hormones, such as thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin, that regulate the metabolism rate of the body.
Thyroid and weight loss; The relation:
You may be wondering what leads to weight gain during thyroid problems. The thyroid gland regulates the metabolism of the body and it is indirectly related to body weight. When the body enters ” hypothyroidism”, the production of the thyroid hormone decreases, and the body metabolism decreases leading to weight gain. It also causes fluid retention which may lead to added weight. Other factors which add up to the weight gain include, increase in food intake as well as a decrease in physical activity as a result of fatigue and the aging process.
If you too have hypothyroidism and are looking to lose weight, here are some tips for you.
Thyroid and weight loss
Losing weight with hypothyroidism is a challenging task. All those with hypothyroid and weight loss on their mind go for a very low-calorie diet and this may further lower the body’s metabolism. It may worsen the problem and hence a correct approach is needed.
Keep a check on your thyroid levels:
Remember the answer to your weight-loss question is solving the reason for weight gain. If you have a thyroid problem and weight loss is your goal, then you must keep a check on your thyroid levels. Take your medications regularly and keep your levels as close to the normal range as possible. Then you will see your weight coming to normal. Either check your thyroid levels every 3-4 months or at least once in 6 months.
Increase your activity:
Lowered metabolism is the main hurdle for those struggling with thyroid and weight loss. Increasing the activity levels through exercise will not only help in increasing metabolism but also in losing weight. Increase your activity levels by including a 30-45 minutes exercise session, be it walking, yoga, tai chi, swimming, cycling, or a gym workout. Take the stairs every time you have to climb up or down. A short-medium-paced walk after your meals will be beneficial too.
Increase your water and fiber intake:
Hypothyroidism can cause chronic constipation, water retention, and edema. Increasing water and fiber intake will help in regularizing bowel movements. Increased water consumption will also help in flushing out your lymphatic system, further helping water retention problems.
Increase ย selenium intake:
To supplement selenium in your diet, include bran, whole wheat, tuna, onions, and tomatoes in your diet.
Increase iodine intake:
Increasing iodine intake will help in improving thyroid functions. Eat iodized salt. If your doctor advises, go in for iodine supplements as well.
Increase your metabolism:
The key to thyroid and weight loss is increasing your metabolism. Here are some tips on how you can do that.
i] Have 5-6 mini-meals –
Small and frequent meals help in reducing the sugar spikes and balance the blood sugar level. This will help in avoiding hunger pangs. Small frequent meals help by keeping the digestive system on the go. It helps in burning more involuntary calories and prevents the storage of fat.
ii] Green tea –
Drinking green tea will increase the metabolic rate and energy levels. ย Hypothyroidism makes you feel tired and fatigued all the time. Green tea will help in decreasing the stress levels and will give you the most needed energy kick.
iii] Warm water and lemon –
A glass of warm water and lemon early in the morning and after your main meals will help you in keeping the metabolism rate up throughout the day.
Thyroid and weight loss:-
- Foods to eat: Include a lot of carrots, whole grain cereals, avocado, apricots, fish, asparagus, olive oil, and sunflower seeds.
- Foods to avoid:ย Eat less broccoli, Lima beans, cabbage, peanuts, sweet potato, mustard, kale, kohlrabi, linseed, and soy products. These foods may interfere with iodine uptake in the body. Don’t cut these foods out completely, just keep these to a minimum. These foods harm when eaten in raw form. However, cooking these foods will destroy the goitrogens and make them safe for consumption. Millets should be consumed in moderation as they may cause inflammation to the thyroid. Pearl millet is best avoided in the thyroid.
Here is a sample diet plan for thyroid and weight loss. Diet plan for weight loss in hypothyroidism.
Whether the excess weight comes from thyroid or other hormonal issues, the key to weight loss is to correct the underlying condition while monitoring your diet, eating the right things and avoiding what’s wrong, and exercising. A healthy lifestyle since the very beginning is the solution to every weight-related problem, including thyroid and weight loss.

Hello mam
My mother is suffering from thyroid disease. She is about 40 yrs old and her weight is 75 – 80 kg. Few days earlier she slipped and fell on her knee. Now she is feeling pain in that area. we have taken the required medication for this .her recent thyroid report was 7.43. but in this situation can you plz suggest the exercises, she can carry out to reduces her wait. What kind food she should eat and avoid. How she can get a better metabolism. And other suggestions related to this case.
Thank you.
Hi ,
actually if the pain is bad, its better to first get physio therapy done of the knee to avoid any further issue, as any exercise for weight loss will involve standing up , walking , running and all can hurt the knee more . so please consult a physiotherapist for this.
food wise she can follow the diet mentioned here – https://www.dietburrp.com/indian-diet-plan-for-weight-loss/

Hi Payal,
I’m Vidhya, 25 years old. I’m currently taking 75mg of thyroxine tablet, which my doctor has suggested. I was 79 kg’s(almost nearing 80 kgs) with sedentary life style. But I managed to do running in treadmill for half an hour daily. Now I’m 74.5 Kgs. Now after this, how much ever I try, my weight remains same at 74.5 Kg. My weight never goes below 74.5Kgs. I’m eating Ragi Kanchi in the morning. In afternoon, I eat normal 1 cup of rice with sambar and rasam. For dinner I have 2 or 3 dosa. Just to avoid my hunger in mid-morning, I have some fruits. Any reason, why it’s not going below the particular weight level? I’m sure I can’t reduce my food than this and very certain that I’m eating healthier. Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Vidhya

Low carbs intake , plz help me i m pizzed offf i m only 22 yrs old girl. Plzzzzzzzz itz al bcuz of thyronorm ???
Hi Divya ,
dont worry so much .. worry causes weight gain . your condition may not be bcoz of thyronorm. it is helping to get your TSH in normal range … or else your weight would further increase. thyroidism causes weight gain. dont worry it happens in the begining but if you manage it well, it will all come down to normal . follow the tips given in the above article and join some other form of exercise if gyming doesnt suit you … zumba dancing and swimming are also good ways. with that you can follow a low calorie diet, but for that you need to consult your diabetologist and adjust your insulin dose accordingly to avoid landing in to hypoglycemia.
Hi Payal,
Your articles are very encouraging. I am 35 years old. My height is 164 cms and I weigh 80 kgs/ 177lbs. Recently was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, T3 and T4 normal. TSH is 7.65. I am taking 50 mcg eltroxin. I was always overweight but after my second pregnancy I gained lot more. I joined group exercises and lost significant amount of weight in 6 months. Then we moved to a new place and have gained all the weight back. Now I have started walking on the treadmill for 30 mins. I have a pear shaped body and am a vegetarian. Kindly advice as to how I can get a permanent solution for my weight issues. How much should I weigh and how long will it take to get to that weight? Thanks a lot.
Hi Gayatri,
Your weight according to your height should be 64 – 65 kgs. try following the above mentioned tips. how long you would take to lose this weight can not be really answered, as it would depend on your bodily response. you should aim at losing around 2 kgs in a month. this kind of weight loss which is slow and steady brings about permanent changes, and the weight is less likely to bound back.

I have just recently tested for hypothyroidism after the reports being normal for nearly a decade, TSH has shot up, yet i do not have any symptoms. i am not on medications and dont plan to take either and fight this the natural way. I am 39 years and weigh 65 kgs. I want to knock off 3-4 kilos and keep it that way.

Thanks for the post.. it was so informative..
My mother who is 60 now is having 78 kg weight & 5′ 3″height. Now taking Electroxine 100 mg for hypothyroidism. to add up to the problems she is having knee problem and back pain as well.. In such cases how to maintain the metabolic rate ? what should be an ideal diet for her ?
Hi,
Actually sometimes its age related also . I understand she cannot walk for long due to her pain problems , she can keep her metabolism raised y walking for 10 mins – 15 mins every time after major meals , or talking a small walk in the living room / terrace / parking. she can also take warm water and lemon or drinkl 5-6 cups green tea daily to increase her metabolic rate. use more of the foods mentione here – https://www.dietburrp.com/how-to-increase-metabolism/

Hello madam my age is29 hight5.2 waight 72.I want to loss 10kg plz suggest me diet chart.I have thyroid problem. I am trying since 1yr to loss my wait. Agar 2kg kamta hai to next month 3 kg gain ho jata hai .Plzzz plzz help me maam. Mujhe knee m v problm ho gai hai to mai jyada exercise v nahi kar sakti.
H i Payel ,
you need to walk for atleast 30 min in the beginning and increase it to 45 mins from second month onwards , without exercise its hard to stimulate thyroid to fuction normally. take medicine regularly. coz if your weight is due to thyroid hypo function, then only improving the thyroid function is the key.
drink warm water and lemon, follow other tips mentioned in this article above and with that try to follow this diet chart here –

Hi Meeta,
There are no short cuts to weight loss. But at the same time nothing is impossible … weight loss depends on your total calorie in take and output. so in simple words you need to eat healthy yet low calorie food and increase output through more exercise. here is a sample low calorie diet plan, check if it suits you… https://www.dietburrp.com/indian-diet-plan-for-weight-loss/
