Thyroid Hormone and Weight Loss

[Guest guest]

Hi EveryOne,

Thought this was an interesting letter but from what I have read if you don

t need thyroid hormone, taking it will not cause you to lose weight. Wonder

if she really needed it?

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: What do you think of taking thyroid hormone for weight

loss? A friend is doing this, and she has lost 30 pounds. I'm jealous. - M.M

Don't be jealous. It's a foolish way to lose weight. Thyroid hormone speeds

metabolism, and calories are burned. However, unneeded thyroid hormone can

be harmful to the heart and many other body organs. For weight loss, stick

with calorie restriction and exercise.
