My question is : What is a recomended diet for people with hashi.. (regardless of weight loss or gain ) . ?
What I mean is , what kind of food should we get used to eating  and  what to avoid ?
How can we adjust our diet for better results thus lifequality ?

Thanks in advance for any responce !

A Heart Healthy diet would be the best type of diet to help decrease any complications of the disease and to stay healthy overall. A Heart Healthy diet means a moderate fat diet to lower the fat content of your foods and increase ‘good’ fats to benefit your body. Moderate fat diet means = use polyunsaturated (omega 3, corn oil, nuts, etc) fats and monounsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, etc) fats, no saturated fats (high fat snack foods, butter, fat spreads) and no trans fats. Eat low fat meats (chicken, fish, loin of pork) or non-meat sources (soy products, nuts), low fat vegetarian combinations (rice & beans, pasta & beans, low fat cheese & pasta), substitute dairy products (low fat soy milk/soy yogurt), use plant oils, non trans-fat margarines, and eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Eat daily high fiber breads and cereals (oatmeal). Depending on the medication your MD prescribes for the treatment of the disease may be affected by soy products and high fiber foods. You would need to check with your MD.
