Thyroid gland is a small gland, normally weighing less than one ounce, located in the front of the neck. Your metabolism has a great deal to do with your thyroid. Thyroid cells are the only cells in the body which can absorb iodine. Any malfunction or disease afflicting this area may cause you to have problems in metabolism leading to a drastic problem with our weight.
Those with a condition called hyperthyroidism suffer from an overactive thyroid leading to one having his or her metabolism go through the roof. If this is the case, then you will probably lose weight fast, which is a nice thought for someone who wishes to lose weight. .
Hypothyroidism works in the other direction – slowing metabolism until the body gains weight at an incredible rate. Like hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism causes a general weakness in the body. It too may need special treatment and may cause serious health problems if left unattended.
Another problem that can arise from decreased metabolism is that when your metabolism slows due to a drastic reduction in metabolism, and then you suddenly eat a good, hearty, calorie-filled meal, you are bound to gain more weight owing to the increased surplus of energy.
