Once your thyroid level gets back to normal, you should lose weight. Good luck.

The first effect I found when I started on medication for that condition is I felt better about myself, I had more energy and was more cheerful. After that being more active just followed and I lost weight. I also firmed up since I was active again. (I had been a couch potato for a number of years.) After feeling better and starting lose weight I realized that my hair was growing in looking much better and my nails weren't breaking so easily. It was an all over improvement in my health, energy, mental outlook and physical looks. I'm so glad I live in a time and place where this is possible!

I was diagnosed as hypothyroid by my doctor about 2 1/2 years ago. No matter how we tweaked the Levothyroxin, I continued to experience bloating, painful trapped gas, post-nasal drip and congestion, which I had been experiencing all my life (I am 49 years old) and extreme fatigue which had been on-going for a few years. I didn't seem to be able to get enough sleep, couldn't make it through a day at the office and only wanted to sleep all the time. Starting the diet in early November brought about immediate positive results. ALL the above-mentioned symptoms literally disappeared!! I was so excited I would wake up early each morning, ready to meet the day. THANK YOU for all you've introduced me to, https://vids.im/Low-Thyroid_treatment_2eP . I thank God for your research...

I too was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
Once your meds get in your system you will start loosing weight. You may not loose all your weight but what you don't loose will be easier to loose through diet and exercise. It took my meds about 3 months to get in my system. You should see no side effects from the meds. You will notice you wont get the cold chills anymore, and you'll slowly get more energy.
Good Luck sister......Hope you feel better soon.

Hypothyroidism causes your metabolism to be slow. Since you are now on medication, Synthroid, you should lose weight. However it will probably be a few weeks for you to start feeling the effects of the medication.
Synthroid doesn't cure hypothyroidism, it treats it. You have to take it for the rest of your life.

it will speed up your metabolism. When you have thyroid and metabolism issues you should consider a change in diet. one thing that helped me was eating more small meals in a day and drinking a lot of green tea (unsweetened), and water. Being a vegetarian, i seek more foods high in protien instead of replacing protien rich foods with bread. The most important thing to do is always eat at within one hour of waking up. it doesn't matter how late at night you snack, but pay attention to how much you're eating. if you're not going to change your diet, you're not going to lose wieght.

I have it and I am 34. You should have no side effects from it but you will begin to "feel better". After at least of taking it for 6 months I began to lose weight. Three yrs later you would have never thought I weighed what I did. It will go fine, and always go for ur tests.

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !
