Content: Upon correction of hypothyroidism-associated cognitive deficits (as a result of synthroid treatment), individuals are able to make better decisions about the foods that they consume and exert more overall self-restraint to avoid unhealthy food choices. Decreased food cravings: In some individuals, hypothyroidism may contribute to food cravings, especially for junk food (e.g. artificial sweeteners, sugars, simple carbs, etc.). With regular administration of synthroid, some individuals may find that food cravings subside. You may feel as if you no longer are constantly craving carbs, cookies, candies, etc. – all throughout the day. Assuming you have fewer overall food cravings, you’re likely to consume less unhealthy “junk food” and could end up losing some weight. Energy increase: There’s a stark contrast in the energy level of an individual with an optimally functioning thyroid and someone who’s suffering from hypothyroidism. Most individuals with hypothyroidism slog through the day with considerable fatigue and grogginess, making it challenging and less appealing to stay active and/or exercise.
