Can Hypothroidism cause weight gain?

When it comes to weight gain, nothing beats the thought that thyroid is the first culprit. Patients with an underactive thyroid tend to have a very low basal metabolic rate. The cause of weight gain in hypothyroid individuals is not always related to excess fat accumulation. It may be due to excess accumulation of salt and water.

The risk of developing hypothyroidism is greatest for women over 50, and the risk increases with age.  

Symptoms:
Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight.
Dry Hair 
Dry and pale skin
Cold intolerance
Forgetfulness
Constipation
Sore Muscles
Lack of energy
Cognitive impairment
Depression in older

Foods to be taken:

Iodine rich foods like:
Seaweed
Iodized Salt
Salt water Fish
Sushi
Nori rolls

Selenium rich food like:
Dairy
Beans
Meat 
Chicken
Garlic
Onions
Brazil Nuts

Foods to be Avoided:
Peanuts
Mustard
Cauliflower
Peaches
Coffee
Spinach
Turnips
Cassava
Linseed
Peanuts
Sweet potato


It is recommended that small frequent meals are healthier for persons with Hypothyroidism. Eating 5-6 small meals a day will help a person lose weight and ward off the symptoms of the disease. It helps in digestion  of the food and also keeps your energy level up. Read more here: http://www.providence.co.in/is-my-weight-gain-due-to-thyroid/
