I'm fat but am trying to get my life back on track

They just told me blood work isn't that bad but my thyroid is having issues.....

I thought thyroid issues was a meme?

Blaming your weight on your thyroid is the meme.

>>42430628
thyroid issues will only affect your emotional state, which in a lot of people's cases makes them want to eat more because they won't care

obviously don't know anything about medical issues. apparently everything is imaginary.

It actually affect for weight loss, I don't know how much, but it does.
The "meme" part about it, it's that usually there are very fat guys justifying their obesity because of "muh thyroid makes me fat". When it's usually (most of the time) their eating habits what made them fat.
And even if it was a thyroid problem, they could still get a treatment and then lose weight.

If you truly have HypoT (high TSH, low T4) then it may definitely slow your metabolic rate and increase weight gain.

However the meme is a very small percentage of people are truly suffering from this condition, but many use it to justify their shitty life styles.

The meme is that a lot of fat fucks self diagnose a thyroid issue. There are actually people that have thyroid issues that make weight loss more difficult but it's rare.

Yea, turns out I do

I didn't really understand the blood work, but they had a look at it and mentioned only issue is the thyroid function...

And yea, I actually have always been /fat/

>Apparently the fix is to workout....

You get the most benefits out of exercising when performing aerobic exercises at 70 percent of your maximum heart rate.

This will dramatically raise your T3 and T4 levels. People who pushed their exercise routines to maximums of 90 percent of their heart rate have found that their T3 levels would fall.

Exercising increases the function of your thyroid and stimulates the thyroid to produce more hormones.

Even then, every professional organization relevant to endocrinology will say that it should only account for 10-20 lbs of weight gain. It doesn't make you 100+ lbs overweight like the landwhales claim. Same with PCOS.

I think the meme is that fat people claim the reason they absolutely can't lose weight and refuse to is because of thyroid issues. It's harder yes but not impossible like people claim. Your body typically requires less (or cant use as many) calories, so you might have to cut back more than the average Joe and work out a bit harder. Do some research on foods to avoid as well, as some inhibit thyroid function.

It's a real condition. My mom had hypo thyroid issues after giving birth to me, in the before she got treated for it she gained 30 pounds in a couple of months.

If something affects your metabolism then fucking adjust your intake to counter the change. Don't continue to stuff your face like you used to KNOWING your metabolism has slowed bc of a medical issue.

This op, it may be that your being obese is causing your thyroid issues, not the other way around. Id try a cut first before taking hormones unless your gp says otherwise

this.

every single fat fuck Ive helped lose weight had "hypothyroidism" as diagnosed by their GPs.

every single one of them that started exercising aerobically was taken off their thyroid treatment because their levels were now too high.

those who decided to just "lose weight" and really didn't get their heart pumping never saw improvements.
