I agree with Red - if your thyroid levels are where they need to be, you shouldn't have a lot of trouble losing weight.  

It's easier for some than for others.  I have to work at losing, while for others, the weight just "falls" off; however, we all need a healthy diet and exercise anyway.

Really?  "If you get your thyroid levels right you wont need to take any HCG diet to correct your weight." I have been so worried, I am having a TT on Nov 4 and have struggled with my weight for years, my TSH has been .5 for years.  I am convinced that I will gain a bunch of weight afterward.  You have encouraged me that it might not happen that way.  I would love to believe I might actually lose weight!

You should be taking your thyroid medication no matter what diet you are on!
DO make sure you take your tablet first then wait at least a few hours before taking any other medication or herbal or anything else that might interfere with your thyroid medication.
If you get your thyroid levels right you won't need to take any HCG diet to correct your weight.
