Since you are not regulated with your Hashimoto, it will be hard to lose the weight. A naturopath doctor told me once to cut all white flour and sugars out and keep the carbs at no more than 90 a day and I would lose the weight.
CUT WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats my daily staples, Ill shrivell up and die :'( :'(
Then Id rather be FAT, as is I live on only 3 basic things, without I would not survive
1. SUGAR
2. CAFFEINE
3. NICOTINE - Yeah I'm a smoker
