Why would armour thyroid be making me gain weight? (dx hashimoto nothing else changed... since starting armour 212 up to 225 :(
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It shouldn't: If your thyroid function has been restored adequately, you should actually start to lose weight given identical food intake and activity level. The only reason you may gain weight may be from the fact that you are now regaining your energy level and start to socialize (eat and drink) more.
