Ilovepigs22 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have an underactive thyroid..i am taking medicine so it is pretty much under control. But I lose weight very slow and gain it fast. In one weekend i can easily gain a few pounds if I abuse my body. I have been very careful with what I eat and everything and I need to start working out. I always worry about soy. I have heard a connection between soy and your thyroid function as well as the absorption of the thyroid hormone. any input on any of this?
