Default Thyroid levels

I've never really had any of the bad physical symptoms of Hypo. I did have problems with depression and lack of energy for years that has now possibly been attributed to Hypo. But I can't tell when my levels change and I don't know what changes them. I can't seem to get an answer anywhere as to why the levels would change when you are on medication and stable. I was stable on meds for almost a year and then suddenly BANG...all out of whack again! !!!!??????

Can anyone give some ideas how to keep thyroid levels stable?
Is there a nutritional way?
I am not talking about stopping thyroid meds. just staying stable ON THEM! I am so tired of constantly having to switch dosages of Synthroid and not knowing what made things go wrong?
IS IT OUT OF MY CONTROL????

The main reason I am so concerned is that I have been on Atkins for over 4 months now (Induction ) and have not managed to lose 1 OUNCE!!!! Very concerned that this may be thyroid related !
