Some experts say that as many as 60 million Americans have a thyroid problem. Conservative estimates say 25 million. But whatever the number, the sad fact is that millions of people have thyroid problems and don't even know it yet.

And if your thyroid has slowed, and you have hypothyroidism, one of the biggest shocks may be how difficult it is to lose weight. You might be shocked to hear that even the most rigorous diet and exercise program may leave you unable to lose weight! Or, you might even gain weight on a healthy diet and exercise program.

Your thyroid could actually sabotage your weight loss effort!
