How does Under Active Thyroid Causes Weight Gain?
One of the major effects of under active thyroid or hypothyroidism is weight gain. Under active thyroid or hypothyroidism slows down the lipid metabolism in the body. As a result, fats are not readily burnt and are stored within the body. As you consume more, more and more fats get deposited. The amounts of calories burnt become less than the amount of calories consumed. So, it’s obvious that one starts gaining weight because of under active thyroid or hypothyroidism.
