Missy asked:
I feel for Oprah. Everyone knows that she yo-yo diets. She has a problem with controlling her food habits. I mean seriously- if you make billions of dollars a year, I’d be stuffing my face with all kinds of expensive meals too. But I think she went overboard by blaming her thyroid condition. SHe needs to face up and realize that it’s due to HER overeating habits. What you think?

Thyroid conditions are very real and can cause rapid weight gain / loss.
Whether this is really the cause of her weight gain is another matter. Only she knows for sure. She really has no excuse if this isn’t the cause, though. She has people prepare her food, and a personal trainer to help keep her in shape.
It also has to do with stress and eating. your weight goes up and down and it is controlable if you get help and do what you got to do.
there is a very good chance it effects your metabolism
I agree with the first person who answered…I have a thryoid condition (goitre) and my weight has skyrocketed recently…I was worried, but blood tests revealed nothing abnormal!
It could be her thyroid causing the weight gain, as having an underactive thyroid slows down the metabolism a lot. I know, as it caused me to gain 55 pounds. I have since lost 30 of those pounds, but it was extremely difficult. If OPrah is hypothyroid, she has every right to blame her thyroid.
If you have watched any of Oprah’s shows in the past few years, you’d realize she has been eating rather healthy the last few years and not like she did previously. It’s the eating healthy that may have caused her problem actually because she has been eating huge amounts of soy. Soy slows down thyroid function.
Having an underactive thyroid causes weight gain for most people, even with diet and exercise. I do not think OPrah was stuffing her face, as she has good cholesterol and has had other great results on medical tests if you have watched DR Oz on her show. It’s most likely the thyroid problem causing her weight gain. I was very disappointed that Oprah did not talk about hypothyroidism in more detail. s she could have helped thousands of women with or about to be diagnosed with the condition.
