Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 30 years old and aim to lose weight within the next three months. Could you please provide guidance on a suitable diet plan and exercise regimen? I have been attempting to conceive for three years, with challenges stemming from my overweight condition. Additionally, I am currently on thyroid medication, with a TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) level of 9 while taking 50 mcg. Are there any medications available to aid weight loss given my thyroid condition? What would be a healthy and realistic monthly weight loss target for my situation?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Losing weight with a thyroid condition poses challenges, necessitating adherence to specific thyroid guidelines.

Please follow these recommendations:

1) Take your thyroid medication on an empty stomach and wait for at least an hour before consuming any food or drink.

2) Opt for small, frequent meals throughout the day.

3) Exercise caution with raw cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower due to their goitrogen content. Ensure thorough cooking before consumption.

4) Limit soybean consumption to once every 10 days and consider avoiding other soy products such as soy milk and tofu.

5) Minimize intake of processed, packaged foods, chocolates, alcohol, caffeine, and carbonated beverages.

6) Steer clear of refined carbohydrates like white flour, high fructose corn syrup-rich foods, pastries, and sugary drinks.

7) Avoid deep-fried items high in trans fats.

8) Incorporate iodine and selenium-rich foods such as eggs, legumes, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and seafood.

9) Integrate lean meats and low-fat dairy products into your diet for essential amino acids.

10) Emphasize whole grains and fiber-rich carbohydrates like whole wheat flour, oats, and quinoa.

11) Consume at least one fruit daily for its antioxidant benefits.

12) Ensure you have three to four servings of vegetables daily.

13) Aim to drink 0.6608 to 0.7926 gallons of water daily.

To provide a tailored exercise routine, please specify your current weight and height.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you for consulting me.
