Hello lybrate-user as you knw hypothyroidism is associated with low bmr which means low metabolism and you r on medication for dat. You can increase your metabolism by increasing your activity. Exercise, daily walks, avoiding lifts, strt playing some sports, swimming, eating healthy balanced diet. You need to avoid high carbs n high fat diet. Drink lots of water. Sit in a straight posture. Running is d best exercise. You will c d effects in few weeks. Follow up with me. Regards.
