I am looking to have my first child with my husband. I want to get down to a healthier weight to avoid possible complications before trying Clomid. Anyone have any diet tips to get the weight off?

Consider a ketogenic diet. It has helped me conceive naturally and lose some weight.

I actually was just diagnosed with hypothyroid and there are lots of people who have hypothyroid who follow a ketogenic diet. Check out Leanne Vogel's The Keto Diet. She is works with people who have thyroid issues and so she is not so ridged but her methods still get results. Her website is www.healthfulpursuit.com and she has a podcast.

I am just starting my weight loss journey, I want to also lose weight before going on additional medications to help conceive. I cut out sugar and carbs, and I am trying to focus on a more "clean eating" approach overall. I have been reading a lot about the Paleo diet. I hope that helps! Good luck! You'll do it!

I’m not sure of your current eating habits but cutting down juice & fried foods worked for me. Juices have a lot of sugar & so do most foods so it’s best to not drink your calories. Also eating smaller portions and not eating at late hours. To surpress cravings drink lots of water. Hope that helps
