Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormones. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck near the Adam's apple. Its primary purpose is to produce hormones that regulate the metabolism. One of the many symptoms of hyperthyroid disease is rapid weight loss. Aside from taking the daily thyroid medication you have been prescribed to take by your doctor, you might want to consult a nutritionist. A nutritionist could help guide you in discussing your weight goals, dietary lifestyle, and provide recommendations for what you could eat to help you regain any weight lost due to your thyroid condition.
