I have lost 10 kg, but my skin has become loose and started to sag in my cheeks. My eyes are sinking in with dark circles around them. I drink 4 liters of water per day and have started strength training. My thyroid is at 6, and I am currently under medication for it. How can I make up for these nutritional deficiencies? I am a vegetarian. Thank you in advance.

Rapid weight loss results in loose skin, dark circles. Thyroid imbalance may add to issues. Eat protein rich vegetarian foods. Continue strength training, hydrate well. Do Vitamin B12, D, Iron Profile, HbA1c.

Does thyroid imbalance impact body weight?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, I am 5 feet tall and weigh 74?kg. I also have thyroid issues. There is a lot of pressure on me to have a baby, and we are planning to conceive within a month. I am very concerned about my weight. What should I do? Is it possible to manage or reduce weight during pregnancy with just morning walks?
