Can synthroid (thyroxine) help you lose weight? any answers appreciated!

Weight loss.......: No. Thyroid supplements are not a useful way to loose weight. They were once used for this hoping it would increase calorie burning but the adverse effects of such doses is makes this unwise to do. Even when found to have an under active thyroid, hormone replacement will not make that weight disappear. Only reducing caloric intake below your calorie expenditure will cause you to loose eight.
