I have under active thyroid which I take 100 mg levothyroxine for. ( I also take apple cider vinegar)
I'm looking at doing the low carb bootcamp as need to lose some weight. Is this advisable? How will it affect thyroid?

Are you overweight? I’m not an expert so I probably shouldn’t be replying to your post but I would have thought any diet to reduce your weight would be good. I’ve just been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid (TSH of 69) and I’m on Levothyroxine 100mcg daily too but I eat a low carb diet and my BMI is around 18 so I haven’t gained any weight being hypothyroid.
