Can thyroid cause weight gain?

I panicked like crazy when I suddenly gained 8 kgs in two months without changing my diet! But once I found out it was just hypothyroidism, I got my doctor-prescribed medicine sorted, and my weight stabilized. It is very manageable, don't worry.

Yes, an underactive thyroid definitely causes fluid retention and weight gain. Along with my daily thyroid medication, eating high-fiber vegetarian meals and drinking warm water helps. But make sure to consult your doctor before making major diet changes.

Honestly, gaining weight suddenly due to thyroid was so hard for me emotionally, especially with people constantly pointing it out. It is really frustrating. Just remember it is a hormonal issue, not your fault, and it will get better with the right doctor's treatment.

I totally get it, thyroid weight gain is so incredibly exhausting and demotivating. It makes you feel like your body is not in your control. Please be kind to yourself, visit a good endocrinologist, and they will help balance your hormones.

Haha, yes! Thyroid has this magical ability to convert even a glass of water straight into weight gain! Don't stress too much, once you start taking your daily empty-stomach pill from the doctor, your metabolism will wake up.
