How do I lose weight with Hypothyroidism?
Keep up your diet but the Synthroid should help. Were you told ... is your hypothyroidism from Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroiditis? Here is some info: TSH ‘norm’ should be .3 – 3 (w/ most feeling best at < 2) but would not matter if ANTIBODIES are present. Indicative of Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis (cycles between hyper & hypo at start)…main cause of HypOthyroid & is worse (...OR Graves Disease - HypERthyroid). WARNING: Doctors seem not to want to find/treat thyroid disease. You may have to go to more than one doctor before you get the right tests, interpretation, and treatment. Best wishes.

Hypothyroidism? Can you still lose weight?
No it is not impossible. You may have to work a little harder at it but do NOT let it be an excuse to be overweight. As long as you take your prescription just like you are told and get your levels checked every 3-6 months to ensure you are taking the right dose, you should be fine. Make it a point to walk everyday, drink a lot of water and avoid processed foods. There is a book called the Thyroid Diet you might want to check it out at you library. It has some information for people who have hypothyroid and want to know more about controlling their weight.
Weight loss and hypothyroidism?
I too am hypothyroid. In fact I have what they call Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. I take levoxyl, I have recently begun taking cytomel too because I was still feeling tired and sluggish in spite of the fact that my levels were normal. As far as losing the weight. I don't know how much you have gained, but what I did was go on a very low calorie liquid diet for a few weeks to get the weight loss started. Then I cut my carbs, and sugars and really souped up the exercise. you should be doing weight training along with cardio vascular because cardio alone won't give you the results you want. If you build muscle, it will burn calories while you are not exercising as well as when you are. I hope this helps and good luck. Christine
How do I lose weight with hypothyroidism and PCOS, with most of the fat around my hips and waist?
Ouch! This seems like a very diffuct situation on your part. PCOS, which messes with your hormones and Hypothyroidism which messes them even more? My friend, you have a double threat. But no worries weight loss still can be possible. If you truly have both of these abnormalities Im wondering why you are asking this on Quora, a doctor would be more appropriate. But let me get to the topicWeight loss occurs when you “lose weight” also meaning bone tissue, water, or A LEG! You dont want weight loss, you want fat loss, fat is that ugly stuff around your hips. Since your hormones are out of whack get treatment before asking these questions. Frankly, there is no way to attain fat loss other than starving yourself in your condition right now. Maybe after treatment losing fat would be a viable option, but right now? Sorry, not possible.
What is the best way to lose weight with hypothyroidism when nothing seems to work?
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after the birth of my daughter 2 years ago, sadly, dispite exercise and healthier eating habits, I have not lost any weight since the day I came home with her. I would really like to lose about 20 pounds and have 5 months to work with.
Will hypothyroidism go away if I lose weight?
Whoever told you that was a fool. Hypothyroidism causes people to be overweight, but being overweight does not cause hypothyroidism. In fact, if you are clearly hypothyroid (not a very mild case), then treating it will probably cause you to lose some weight. If a doctor told you that losing weight was the right way to treat your hypothyroidism, you should switch doctors. That is so far from accepted medical practice that it would be malpractice if you were injured from it (it's malpractice if you get hurt because a doctor did or said something that was totally against current medical ideas).
With hypothyroidism, what the fastest way to lose weight?
Here are a few tips; WHEN to eat for losing weight... • Eat (at least) three times a day. Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That's the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight... you must eat (the right things, of course) • Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas. • Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try. OK, one apple after 18:00 • Don't starve Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health. Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet. • Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast--eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer. WHAT to drink for losing weight... • Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day ! Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water! This improves your bowel, reduces the "hunger" sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks! Don't believe the slogan "water makes me fat". Beside being stupid... you might get into serious troubles with your kidneys. • Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squeezed! Don't drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, Spite etc. during the diet. Even lite or light versions. Exercise for losing weight... • If you want quicker results - exercise would be good. • Don't just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts... I guarantee THIS won't work for your weight loss... • Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants! • Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don't regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated. • Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don't shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too? • Also Cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, or aerobics will help you lose that unwanted belly fat. Weight training can also help you lose body fat because the more muscle mass you have, the more ability your system has to burn body fat. Good luck! Hope this helps~
How do you lose weight with PCOS and hypothyroidism?
I currently have PCOS and hypothyroidism and weight loss is possible if you manage your portion sizes (e.g. don’t eat more calories than you burn) and keep your blood sugar stable (e.g. avoid refined sugars and don’t over eat starchy carbs like rice, pasta, potatoes, etc.).The right exercise also helps, since exercise makes your body more sensitive to insulin. You can read more about losing weight with PCOS here.You also need to ensure that the dosage you are receiving of your thyroid hormones is correct, so regular blood work with your doctor is necessary, as your needs can change over time.I lost almost 25 pounds by learning how to eat properly for PCOS management, so it can be done!
