Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to follow the meal plan exactly?

You do not have to follow the plan exactly, but realize the more you deviate from it, the less likely you are to see the results you are looking for.

That said, as long as you follow the general principles of eating enough calories, enough protein, and real, whole foods, you should be good.

What if I don’t like some of the meals?

Feel free to skip any meals that you don’t like, repeat any meals that you do, or use the principles to find meals that are similar.

You don’t need to follow the plan exactly to see results.

Can I make substitutions?

Yes! You can substitute out veggies and proteins to meet your preferences.

Can I repeat any meals?

Absolutely. You can repeat any meals that you like and skip those that you don’t. There’s no harm in repeating meals several times each week.

Can I adjust the calories?

You can, but do so with caution.

Each person will have a different caloric intake requirement, but the key is to ensure that you are getting enough calories in each day.

For this reason, I set the calorie intake around 1,800, which provides enough to prevent thyroid damage from caloric restriction while not being excessively high as to contribute to weight gain.

Can I make adjustments to the protein intake?

I would not recommend it. 100 grams of protein consumption is ideal for patients with Hashimoto’s as it promotes lean muscle mass growth and maintenance.

If you reduce the protein intake, you do so at the risk of reducing that benefit (which is not ideal).

You can, however, adjust HOW you get that protein.

If, for instance, you prefer chicken over turkey, feel free to use that instead.
