1. Weight gain
The hormones that the thyroid gland secretes are responsible for balancing food intake, body weight, and the way sugar and fat are metabolized. When people don’t have an adequate quantity of such hormones, they can experience weight gain, difficulty in losing the extra pounds, and an increase in body mass index (BMI).
Patients diagnosed with this disease stated that their faces easily get puffy and they also have excess fat around the stomach areas of other parts of the body.

The article on 12 signs you might have Hypothyroidism is very informative. Thank you.
I would like more articles on Hypothyroidism as I have the disease, and I need to understand the disease better.
My GP had never explained hypothyroid to me. I was losing hair, putting on weight and feeling tired all the time and my GP never suggested it. It was s friend said I might have it so i asked for a test which was positive so I was put on 100g thyroxine . I’m still losing hair and can’t lose weight and am tired all the time. I think I’m tested annually but don’t know why I’m still feeling so awful. Is there any other treatment other than thyroxine,? I’m getting so depressed by this…

I’m going through the same thing, hair loss, weight gain, and complete exhaustion. I too am on 100g thyroxine. I’d love to find out what else I can do besides just taking a pill every morning.
Try the more expensive Synthroid if your insurance can cover some or all of it. Many sufferers say this brand name is distinctly better- I know it is for me after trying both at different times. Good luck with any other adjustments you can ask more about.
I am interested in essential details regarding the ‘life style’ , could you , please point out which are the needed changes in the life style ?
