Suggest Ways To Lose Weight While Having Hypothyroidism
No matter how hard I try I am not losing weight. I have tried every diet known i.e jenny craig, weight watchers,etc. I take synthroid for hypothyroid. Could this medication be the problem? Or could there be a pancreatic problem with digesting food?? Any suggestions are helpful. Thank yu.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As you mentioned you have hypothyroidism present, untreated thyroid problem lead to more weight gain. Continue your medicine and check your thyroid hormone levels if that is in control or not. Once its controlled, start a regular exercise to reduce weight. Follow a proper diet plan also.
I hope my guidance helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you furher.
