Is  Your Thyroid  Obstructing Your Weight Loss?

Your thyroid controls your metabolism and if it is not working properly it can cause havoc with your body.  So if you are attempting to lose weight and can’t, perhaps you need to take a look at your thyroid.

Now we all understand that adjusting our food portions along with cutting calories to help lose weight, but when your metabolism is not working properly it can hinder your weight loss. A condition called “hypothyroidism” is the culprit. It slows the metabolism down and can actually harm and create health problems.

Now, you cut your food portions, and calories, but what you need to be careful of is that when people are suffering with a slow metabolism, they may cut calories too much and the body goes into a hoarder mode which is the body slows down even more because it is not getting enough fuel for energy.

Now, with a slow metabolism you start eating healthy meals and then discover that you have gained weight. You are feeding the body with fuel for energy, but you are not losing weight it due to your metabolism.

It is wise to see a doctor if you are trying to lose weight and can’t, your metabolism may be the problem.
