levoxl, weight gain?

[sweetspirit241]

in the atkins book it says anti depresents and hormone replacement therapy can cause weight gain and interfere with weightloss while on the atkins diet..... does this mean my levoxl could make it harder to lose weight?

are you talking about levoxyl your thyroid Med?

Actually not takingit will make it very very hard for you to lose weight. If it is Levoxyl your thyroid hormone then you have low production of thyroid hormone in your body and that will cause you to gain weight! Every cell in your body needs thyroid hormone to function properly so when your thyroid levels are low you don't/
Your atkins foods contain some foods that are known to interfer with your thyroid hormones so you will want to have your levels checked suring your Atkins to see if your meds need adjusting if they were correct when you did your pre Atkins doc visit and blood tests.

When we lose weight out bodies in a preserve the fat cells stored fats attempt cause they think we are in a famine will lower production of thyroid hormone too so if you are still producing some on your own you will need a level check too later along in your Atkins.

Dr Atkins is all about making sure your thyroid meds are working 100% for you and discussed them in chapter 15 and 20 when he discussed reasons folk might have stopped losing or aren't losing when doing their Atkins properly.
Happy low carbing.
