IF and Hashimoto's

I really would like to hear from anyone out there who suffers from Hashimoto's and also does IF. How do you IF? Also, did you lose weight? I really would like to know the best way to do this to lose weight and have better numbers. My antibodies are super high. (Not talking TSH, I use a functional medicine doc who orders a lot of bloodwork). Thank you so much for any advice or info.

Answer

I’ve had hashimotos for a decade, I’m 27F now. Been on stable dose of levothyroxine 137mcg for ~5 years now.

I have done IF for just as long. I take the pill first thing in the morning, I don’t eat until dinner usually. I lost 50 pounds in a year doing this. That was 2018 and I’ve maintained since then.

I am 150 lbs currently, doing longer fasts of 40:8 to lose 10-15 more pounds, then go back to maintaining.

My Hashimotos does not affect my ability to fast effectively
