The Claim
In overweight adults with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet excluding goitrogenic foods is associated with a significant reduction in fat mass.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who are overweight and have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis might lose more body fat if they eat more protein, fewer carbs, and avoid certain vegetables like broccoli and cabbage — even if they’re not eating fewer calories overall.

In overweight adults with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet excluding goitrogenic foods is associated with a significant reduction in fat mass, suggesting that dietary composition may influence body composition beyond simple calorie restriction.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that overweight people with Hashimoto’s who ate fewer carbs and no cabbage-like foods lost weight and their immune system improved. This suggests what you eat, not just how much, can help you lose fat.
