Although you: Will burn off extra calories with hyperthyroidism, it also increases your appetite along with your metabolism. You have to resist your body telling you to eat more. Beta blockers can help reduce the symptoms, but only treatment of the hyperthyroidism with either radioiodine or antithyroid drugs will fix the hyperthyroidism. Until then, you need to use more willpower.
