  1. Thyroid Super Specialty Clinic

  2. Thyroid Clinic • Up to 54% of patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism complained of weight gain as the presenting complaint. Because the Basal Metabolic Rate(BMR) in the patient with hypothyroidism is decreased, an underactive thyroid is generally associated with some weight gain. The weight gain is often greater in those individuals with a more severe hypothyroidism.

  3. Thyroid Clinic • Most of the extra weight gained in hypothyroid individuals is due to excess accumulation of salt and water. Massive weight gain is rarely associated with hypothyroidism. In general, 2.5 to 5 Kilograms of body weight may be attributable to the thyroid, depending on the severity of the hypothyroidism. Finally, if weight gain is the only symptom of hypothyroidism that is present, it is less likely that the weight gain is solely due to thyroid.

  4. Thyroid Clinic • When the hypothyroidism is treated you can expect a small (usually less than 10% of body weight) weight loss. Thyroid hormones have been used as a weight loss tool in the past. Many studies have shown that excess thyroid hormone treatment can help produce more weight loss than can be achieved by dieting alone. However, once the excess thyroid hormone is stopped, the excess weight loss is usually regained.
