a low thyroid (which affects something like 1:2,000,000 people doesn't mean you automatically gain weight no matter what you do. it means your metabolism is slowed down somewhat. it can be corrected with medication and regardless, doesn't change the math. if you require 1500 calories a day and you eat 1500 calories a day, your weight doesn't change. if you require 1500 calories a day and eat 2000 calories a day and run 30 minutes, your weight doesn't change.
its still all about how many calories you BURN in a day vs. how many calories you CONSUME in a day. having a thyroid problem (which goes both ways btw) does not change that simple fact.
