Should I take more of my thyroid medication?
I usually eat 1000 calories a day or no more then 1100 calories each day I probably burn way more then that like I go for a 1 hour walk with my dog, I dance for 30 minutes everyday. First week when I started this diet I had lost 5lb in 4 days (seriously) I was 106 and I got to 101 and now I am 100 but I have not lost after that its been 4 days now.. why is this?

- your body is meant to be at that weight. no one needs to be under 100 lbs. unless they are young children. your metabolism is mainly hereditary. if your parents are heavy, you'll most likely be heavy. if your parents are light, then you'll most likely be light. it is easiest and less stressful to just be happy with the way you are. unless your doctor/dietician says you are dangerously overweight.
- Thyroid medicine is not for weight loss, it should be taken more seriously, as too much or too little can hugely affect your health short AND long term!
I highly recommend getting medical advice on getting your thyroid stabilised, and stick to whats prescribed.
- By only eating 1000 calories a day you have put your body in the starvation mode, which means when the diet is over you will gain a ton of weight. Stop dieting. You are small enough already and cannot afford to lose any more pounds.
Why would you stop taking your thyroid medication? Your thyroid does more than just metabolism. You need to see your doctor before you do some permanent unfixable damage to yourself in your quest to be thin.
- You should never ever stop your thyroid medication without the approval of your physician. It will throw your body off. You should contact your dr and tell him what you have done.
- Liqui Iodine drops are GOOD for the thyroid...
- I answered your other Question. The thyroid makes a huge difference with weight gain/loss. My wife gained ten pounds in 2 months before seeing the Doctor. Now she takes Cynthoid and has her weight under control. You need to be religious when taking this sort of medication especially when trying to lose weight. Don't over take the medication either as their are other significant impacts to your body.
- COUld it be because I havent been taking my thyroid medicine regularly? should I take it every and will I lose wight?
- you should take thyroid as prescribed and you can still lose weight while on it= you Will b**ger up your health doing this
