A member asked:

I'm having trouble losing weight i workout 4 days a week i have hypothyroid could this be the reason...what should i eat to help ...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Obesity and thyroid: It will be difficult to lose weight until you resolve underlying endocrine issues. After that it is a matter of eating less than you are burning. Exercise is wonderful for health, but you can generate more calorie difference by decreasing food.
