Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss

Your thyroid controls your metabolic rate — how fast you burn calories. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) slows metabolism, causing weight gain even when you eat the same or less. An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) speeds it up, causing weight loss despite eating more. If your weight is changing without any changes to diet or exercise, your thyroid may be the invisible force behind it.

Pro Tip

Gaining 5+ kg over months with no dietary change, or losing weight while eating more, points to thyroid issues.
