Hello! Thank you for writing.
Hypothyroidism slows down the
metabolism automatically. A controlled healthy diet and exercise is the key.
What you eat, when and how much a person eat is everything. I will give an excample of portions since it is very important.
Breakfast: one slice of brown bread with one teaspoon of honey, 30 gram cheese or one boiled egg + one slice of brown bread.
before lunch one fruit
lunch: 200 gram fish with 1,5 cup of salad and one slice of bread or 120 gram chicken, 1,5 cup of salad, one slice of bread.
before dinner: 5 pieces of nuts, 1 teaspoon of honey
dinner: 1,5 cup of penne spaghetti with broccoli and mushrooms, or 100 gram chicken with one boiled egg
before bed: one cup of yogurt 2% fat.
Exercise is good as a person developed the muscles and muscles growth mean more calorie burnings because it reises the metabolism. Drink plenty of water. She can choose whatever activity she finds more attractive and enjoys the most such as: dancing, swiming, going to the gym, hiking, volley or some of this combined. Wish you and your wife good health. Thank you. Best regards.
