Question 1

how to lose weight during menopause when you have hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Balance  hormones: There is a balance between the hormones from your thyroid (free T4 and t3), adrenal gland  (cortisol)  and your sex hormones (estrogen: e1, e2, e3, progesterone, testosterone). I would check all of your hormone levels and replace those which are low with bio-identical hormones. You will be able to loose weight easier when you are in balance.

Question 2

can you still lose weight when you are hypothyroid?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Although many people feel less energetic when their thyroid gland is under-active, there is nothing about this condition that would prevent weight loss. As long as you ensure that you are consuming less calories than you are burning, you should lose weight. Calorie counting apps are widely available for most smartphones. Talk to your family doctor about specific guidelines for weight management.

Question 3

is it possible to lose weight when you have hypothyroidism? if so, how? is there any diet pills that can give me a boost?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid weight: Once you are on the correct dose of levothyroxine, your metabolic rate should be normal, and there should not be a problem with losing weight.  At least no more problem than anyone else.   Available diet pills are not good.  You are better off developing a healthy diet/exercise program.

Question 8

what are things i can do to lose weight with hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroidism: First, your hypothyroidism must be treated. Then change your lifestyle to a healthier one. You don't need a drastic diet. Make small changes. Eat the right portions, eat 3-5 small meals a day, cut back on carbs and sugars, increase lean protein/veggie/fruit/water intake, and start doing some cardiovascular exercise. Continue to monitor your tsh, t3, (liothyronine) and T4 levels as well.

Question 9

is it true people lose weight with hypothyroidism medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, however it is an unsafe and dangerous way to lose weight as it affects normal thyroid function. There is also muscle loss not just fast loss. Not recommended for that purpose.

Question 10

No problem: Is hopeless. Don't just rely on a pill. Your health  is in your own hands as all of us do. Make sure your diet is natural and find an interest if you do not already have one.
