I have tested positive for antibodies with my thyroid, it has been suggested I might have Hashimoto's, however I have not been diagnosed. I have been told by my doctor to eat a low fat/low salt/low carbohydrate diet, however I cannot manage to figure out what to eat. I crave salt, not really carbohydrates. I don't eat a lot of junk food. I was also told to work out five days per week. I have been battling this since 2001. My weight will not go down, I am an avid athlete but I don't have enough energy somedays to work out. I have for the past three weeks worked out hard, I work out at lest 90 minutes per day. I went from Monday being 189 to Thursday to being 180 back to Sunday being 183. please help me I get depressed just as my clothes are not fitting and I am so swollen and puffy but I don't seem to have a doctor that will listen to me. That I am researching due to wondering advocates I have found on this website. I actually am seeing my family doctor for a physical on Tuesday and requesting lab work that my endocrinologist didn't do. Please any advice suggestions of what to eat what to do. I think the majority of this is water retention but I am not sure how to get rid of it. I do take Triamerine HCTZ one capsule per day, low dose but my doctor said if I was to switch I would have to go to Lasix, which I don't want either as well I take Lipitor 10 mg. Any help is appreciative!
thank you
