Weight Gain
Unexplained weight gain despite normal eating habits
Understanding Weight Gain
Weight gain in hypothyroidism occurs because thyroid hormones regulate metabolic rate. Low thyroid hormone levels slow metabolism by 30-40%, causing the body to burn fewer calories at rest. This leads to weight accumulation even with normal eating habits.
