If my underactive thyroid is not level....?!
Question:
If my underactive thyroid is not level....?
Can I lose weight?
Answers:
Maybe, but it would be extremely difficult, but it is possible. I actually lost 15 pounds while hypo, but I had to exercise excessively to achieve this and this was at the time where I believed I was hypo, but the TSH didn't make it over the 5.5 for a diagnosis. It's hard enough with it level, even more difficult when it isn't so if you are hypothyroid it's best to keep track of your levels. For most, the morning TSH needs to be around 1.0 for weight loss with diet & exercise.
