Can Your Thyroid Make you Fat?

YES!

Nearly 9% of the population has thyroid problems...and these problems can wreak havoc on your system and yes, make you fat!

You could have hyperthryroidism...in which case, you'd have diarrhea and be very small b/c your body is working in overdrive. There's also a heart attack risk associated.

But, you could have hypothyroidism...which slows down your body's processes...and could make it difficult for you to lose weight.

How do you know?

Well, you need to have a cluster of symptoms to be worried... just weight gain alone is not enough.

But, unexpected weight gain, dry skin, dry hair, muscle cramps, constipation and other symptoms combined COULD be a sign of hypothyroidism (the kind that makes you fat).

So, be alert...pay attention to your body. Know your norms. And, when things get out of whack, see a doctor.
