A member asked:
Can you lose weight if your thyroid is underactive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you can: Once your hypothyroidism is treated with levothyroxine, and your TSH is normal, your metabolic rate should be the same as anyone else of your same age/weight/gender, and you should be able to lose weight.
