Hello Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew about the implications of hypothyroidism (treated in my case) for weight loss. I see a lot of things about "you can't eat that little, your metabolism will slow and you won't get anywhere", and while I don't think a massive restriction is a good idea (and am trying to be measured about all this myself), a small part of me wonders "does that really apply to me?" My understanding of my condition is that the thyroid produces metabolism (through the hormones T3 and T4), and in hypothyroidism, it can't or doesn't produce enough hormone and thus the metabolism is slowed (and can theoretically stop). Advertising Campaign is a series of advertisement messages that share a single idea and theme which make up an integrated marketing communication. In order to counteract that I take medication (which I'll be taking for the rest of my life) to give me synthetic thyroid hormone. My induction from this is that my metabolism comes largely (in my case, almost entirely) in the form of tablets.

Thanks
