Thyroid disease is the most common endocrine disorder, especially in women. Most of the hypothyroid patients have an underactive thyroid gland and doesn't produce the required thyroid hormone. Thus the metabolism slows down and you start gaining weight, even when you food intake is healthy and your physical activity level is normal.
Hypothyroidism and Weight loss
Weight loss is possible once correct dose of thyroxin has been prescribed and the condition is properly controlled. Through sensible eating and an increase in physical activity and exercise you can easily lose weight.
A Word of Caution
As the treatment of thyroid takes up to nine months to give result and improve your thyroid condition, one should not expect immediate results.
Stick to your daily calorie allowance and exercise daily, there is no reason why you shouldn't lose weight.
