Content: One person with a specific gut microbiome may differ significantly in terms of weight loss/gain from a particular food – than a person with a different gut microbiome. It may be necessary to consider that administration of synthroid may alter a person’s gut microbe in such a way as to promote weight loss. Metabolism increase: The primary reason synthroid users experience weight loss is related to an increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR). As was already discussed, individuals with hypothyroidism tend to exhibit abnormally slow basal metabolic rates. When synthroid is taken, basal metabolic rate is corrected (or normalized) and weight loss occurs without much effort. This may result in weight loss without any change in lifestyle, dietary intake, etc. When you’re burning more energy at rest as a result of an increase in basal metabolic rate (compared to pre-synthroid treatment), weight loss is likely to occur. Neurochemistry: There is evidence to suggest that synthroid (levothyroxine) affects neurotransmission and neural activation (of particular regions).
