[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it so hard to believe that your caloric intake is too high? Another thread has a similar issue, there op is going to check her thyroid, here 10lbs are because of the pill. I was on the pill, it didn't add 10lbs. Maybe 2,3. The whole culture is messed up, always something else is to blame.[/quote]

Thyroid issues are real.  I had hyperthyroidism and lost 20 pounds in a few weeks.  I had my thyroid killed off, so if my Synthroid dose is too low, I gain weight.

When I went off birth control, I lost 15 pounds in 6 months.

However, diet is normally the only way.  I lost 25 pounds over a few months by cutting carbs, sugar, eating mostly vegetables and protein and avoiding drinking any calories.  It wasn’t fun.  I was hungry.  I went to bed hungry.  I looked great, but I was miserable.  I loosened my diet up, accepted the 10 extra pounds, and I am much happier.

Menopause really made maintaining my weight very difficult.[/quote]

They’re real but they are only the cause of unexplained weight issues for like 5-% of people. Most people gain weight because they’re eating too much. That’s it. [/quote]
