Why Do Some People Still Gain Weight? 中文： ✔ 荷爾蒙尚未調整到穩定劑量 ✔ 活動量減少 ✔ 心理壓力增加 ✔ 飲食習慣改變 體重變化通常是多因素造成。 English: ✔ Hormone levels not yet stabilized ✔ Reduced physical activity ✔ Increased stress ✔ Dietary changes Weight change is usually multifactorial. --- 📌 四、如何避免體重增加？ 📌 4. How Can Weight Gain Be Prevented? 中文： ✔ 定期抽血調整藥物劑量 ✔ 保持規律運動 ✔ 控制精緻糖與高熱量飲食 ✔ 維持良好睡眠 English: ✔ Regular blood tests to adjust medication ✔ Maintain regular exercise ✔ Limit refined sugars and high-calorie foods ✔ Ensure good sleep quality --- 📌 五、部分切除會影響體重嗎？ 📌 5.

Long-term medication may not be necessary, and weight changes are usually minimal. --- 🌿 Dr. Boss 總結 🌿 Dr. Boss Summary 中文： ✔ 甲狀腺切除不等於一定變胖 ✔ 荷爾蒙控制穩定很重要 ✔ 生活習慣影響更大 English: ✔ Thyroid removal does not automatically cause weight gain ✔ Proper hormone control is essential ✔ Lifestyle plays a major role
