By , About.com GuideOctober 5, 2010

Follow me on:

It's no secret that many thyroid patients end up hypothyroid, with an underactive or non-functioning thyroid, a slower metabolism, and other hormonal imbalances. These factors may contribute to weight gain, or make it more difficult to lose weight.

And make no mistake, it's difficult. The emails are pouring in every day. "What do you think of the HCG diet for thyroid patients?" "Should I try the Paleo Diet?" "What about WeightWatchers?" "Help! I need a diet that works!"

With thousands of different diet programs to choose from, it can be confusing for thyroid patients to know which direction to turn. So we have a collection of reviews of dozens of favorite diet and weight loss programs -- including the HCG Diet, Weight Watchers, and Atkins, among others -- including pros and cons. These diets are reviewed from the unique perspective of thyroid patients, so these are reviews have a thyroid focus.
