How can I manage weight gain with hypothyroidism?

I am a 35-year-old woman with hypothyroidism and I've been experiencing weight gain. What are some effective ways to manage my weight?

Dr. Kanchan  Jain

General Physician

Answered on 27th Dec '24

Hypothyroidism is often linked to weight increase because of slow metabolism. To control weight, eat a balanced diet with whole grains, fruits, and lean proteins while keeping the portion sizes in check. Integrating regular physical movement such as brisk walking or strength training into your life will also contribute to higher metabolism. The most important thing is to stay hydrated and get enough sleep. Therefore, checking your thyroid hormone levels with your doctor regularly is highly recommended, as adjusting the medication may be very beneficial. During an initial consultation, a diet specialist will establish a specific food plan for you.

I am a diabetic patient. I am feeling very sleepy and hungry. I am feeling weak. Is my sugar level increasing or decreasing?

Male | 46

When blood sugar levels sink, the body reacts by asking for energy and makes you feel tired, hungry, and weak. As a remedy, you can have a snack that contains carbohydrates, such as fruit or whole-grain crackers. Your sugar level will increase and you will be in a better mood. Diabetes management and regular eating are preventive measures against the occurrence of this problem in the future.

Mera b12 2000 ho reha hai sir isko kam kese kre

Male | 28

The B12 level of 2000 is too high. Possible side effects of high B12 include dizziness, nausea, and skin rashes. It may be due to over-supplementation or certain health conditions. To lower it, avoid B12 supplements and foods that are rich in B12. Water is an excellent conductor of waste and thus helps you eliminate excess B12 from your body. Get re-evaluated after a few weeks to check if it's normal again.

I have high sugar and have low sodium

Male | 65

People should be careful of consuming too much sugar and too little sodium as that can cause them to feel tired, unable to think properly, and generally weak. The sugar levels could rise due to diabetes while the sodium might be reduced through sweating excessively or taking some specific medication. To manage high sugar, one must eat healthily in addition to taking the drugs that have been prescribed for them. A person with low sodium can increase the amount of salt that they take or use drugs which should be administered under strict medical supervision.

Male | 47

Feeling sleepy during the day could be because of your diabetes medicine. Sometimes diabetes medicines can make you sleepy. Also, having diabetes, cholesterol, and thyroid issues all together can make you feel tired. Make sure you're eating well, getting enough sleep, and moving around during the day. If it keeps bothering you, talk to your healthcare provider to see if they can adjust your medicine or suggest other options.
