A member asked:
Despite diet and exercise i am gaining weight rapidly. 8 pounds in less than a month. should i be worried about thyroid, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worry doesn't help: but please see your doc. He/she can check you out for thyroid and other conditions. Have other lifestyle situations changed? Job? Types of food you are eating? Amount of sleep? Peace and good health.
