Weight control is any which way difficult… and if you're diagnosed with hypothyroidism, weight loss can be no less than a torture. A stagnant weight loss plan topped with the frustration of being overweight can be too much to take at times. For those who're not properly aware of the disorder, hypothyroidism leads to slower rate of metabolism which leads to subsequent weight gain. And for those who have been diagnosed with the disorder, yes it's difficult, but not impossible. We tell you how to lose weight with hypothyroidism.

- Firstly, know all about hypothyroidism and the effects it's having on you. Consult your doctor about how much should you ideally weigh and calculate how many extra pounds the disorder has given you. This is important because you need to chalk out a diet and workout plan accordingly. Also, ask your doctor about the best ways to lose weight with hypothyroidism, according to him.
- One of the secrets to lose weight with thyroid is to have balanced and timely meals. You need around 1200 nutrient-rich calories every day. Whole grains and lean proteins will boost the rate of your metabolism. Take the help of your doctor to prepare a diet chart and follow it strictly.
- Steer clear of unhealthy and oily food. Junk food will do no good if you're trying to lose weight, with or without thyroid.
- Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of water. Say no to soft drinks and processed juices.
- Exercise is another important aspect of your weight loss plan. Most of the doctors recommend walking 10,000 steps per day. Apart from walking, you could also invest your time in physical activities like cycling, jogging, dancing or swimming.
- Strength training is also a very good way to lose weight with hypothyroidism. Take help from a certified trainer and make a suitable workout plan for yourself.

Regularity is one of the most essential things when you're suffering from thyroid. Not following your plan diligently will take you nowhere.

Hypothyroidism is a disorder where you need to keep your expectations in check. Do not expect a fall in your weight as soon as you start with your weight loss plan. Keep at it because it takes time. Plus, if you shed that weight gradually, chances are that you won't gain it once you ease your plan in the future.
