Content: So, don’t let this info discourage you from trying to manage your weight if dealing with hypothyroidism and taking Synthroid. How can Synthroid aid weight loss? Synthroid can still be a useful ally against extra pounds for hypothyroid individuals. Most importantly, it has a beneficial impact on parameters associated with metabolic syndrome and atherosclerosis in patients who are diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Both health problems are strongly linked to excess body weight. One study revealed that T4 replacement therapy with levothyroxine has favorable effects on BMI, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. The improvement in these parameters could contribute to reduced cardiovascular risk in this patient population [9]. It is not uncommon for hypothyroid patients to change their lifestyle and still experience weight gain due to the condition they have. Synthroid can help, but as established above, it comes down to taking the right dosage. Weight loss that occurs due to this medication is most prominent in the early stages of treatment because your body still hasn’t adapted to the increase in metabolic rate.
