Suggest Ways To Lose Weight Gained Due To Hypothyrodism

I had a thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer a year and a half ago. I have finally become stabilized with Armour thyroid, 30 micrograms twice a day on even days and 45 micrograms in the morning and 30 micrograms in the evening on odd days. I'm finally feeling more like myself, but cannot lose the 60 pounds I gained while I was hypothyroid, even though I exercise and watch my diet. This seems to be a common complaint. What else can I do to lose the weight?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Could you please state your weight and height for better interpretation? Exercise, diet and life style modifications are the best ways to loss weight. You need to consume less calories than you use in all activities in a day should you be serious abut losing weight. The unfortunate happening is that persons eat a little and spend even less than the little they eat in a day. This would not be helpful as it is the difference in energy consumed and spent that matters and not the absolute figures.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
