How Long After Starting Thyroid Medication Will I lose Weight

• Low thyroid functioning is usually responsible for weight gain. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shape organ situated in the front of the neck, produces hormones that monitor metabolism, weight, heart rate, breathing and many other body functions.
• Most people cannot expect utmost weight loss once they start thyroid medication. Again, this is because weight gain is usually caused by other factors aside from an insufficiently active thyroid. Generally, people begin to notice weight loss nearly three to five months after hitting a therapeutic dose of their medication.
• Appropriately treating the condition may help you lose any weight you gained even as your thyroid levels were troublesome. Even so, bear in mind that that’s not always the case. Symptoms of underactive thyroid gland, in which are weight gain, develop over a long period of time.
• People lose about 2 to 5 kg on thyroid medication or less than 10% of their body weight. The weight loss is usually caused by the body getting rid of needless accumulated salt and water (i.e., water weight). Most research show that thyroid’s herbal medications can help you lose adipose (fatty) tissue in least time.
