good health and vitality.
The diet that I am describing is followed by me based on what I feel and how I feel. The diet is all about re-gaining my energy level.There is no cure for hypothyroidism but at least you can prevent it and boost your energy level to some extent. You should or try to include or intake the following foods in your everyday diet and after few days, you will see the differences.
In your breakfast you must include :
1 or 2 organic,cage-free small eggs fried or poached in coconut oil or olive oil
1 large organic Banana or 2 small organic Banana or Banana Smoothie with milk or yogurt
2 cups of cow's milk or 1 ounce of any type of cheese or 1 cup yogurt- all these foods are rich in iodine,iron,selenium and vitamins.
You can also go for cheese sandwich or thin-crest cheese pizza too for once in a while.

Afternoon Snacks, you must include any or mix of those fruits:
You can make fruit salad by mixing different fruits or you can have fruit juice or smoothie. Remember one thing, try to have everything home-made and fresh. If you go to a cafe and ask for smoothie that is made of food color and food essence ,then it won't be work like as expected.

Blackberry
Blueberry
Brazil nuts
Strawberry
Pineapple
Mango
Oranges
Kiwi
Peanuts
Avocados
Pomegranates
Olive or Dates
Tangerines- These foods are rich in vitamin B6,polyphenols and vitamin C that boost thyroid gland functions and act as anti-fungal.
In your everyday diet for lunch and dinner,try to include fish. Shrimp,tuna,salmon,halibut,cod- all these are sea-fish rich in iodine but they also contain lead which is not good for for health if consuming everyday. So, try to intake those once or twice a week. At the same time, try to have river-fish in your everyday diet like small,tiny whitebait fish,telapiea etc. Those are good for health. You can also include beef,mutton or chicken or turkey. No MSG.Avoid MSG.
Coconut Oil, Milk or Creme:
Coconut is very helpful for thyroid gland. No matter what everyday I try to take 1 to 2 tbsp coconut oil in my diet. Coconut cookie,coconut cake or anything with coconut is also very good.
Legumes & Beans:
Try to include any kinds of legumes or beans like masoor,urad,,kidney or lima beans or mung or split peas in your daily diet.
Vegetables:
Regarding veggies try to include any of the following in your everyday diet:
Bok choy
Potato or potato soup with cheese
Sweet potatoes or celery
Tomato sandwich or curry or soup,No Canned or packaged soup.
Eggplant
Bottle Gourd
Taro roots
Vegetable soup
Crimini mushrooms
Garlic and Onion- these foods are rich in selenium,vitamin B6 and minerals good for hypothyroid.
Rice:
Try to consume brown rice or wild rice or parboiled rice or unrefined whole grains instead of white rice.
Sunlight –
While not a food, its important to get a daily dose of safe sun. Light stimulates the pineal gland, which in turn positively affects the thyroid as well as all the other endocrine glands.

I prefer not to intake those for some moments. - Broccoli, spinach, rutabaga, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, turnips, kale, mustard greens
- Soy
- Millet
- Radishes
- White flours
