I fully agree with you about the lies.  Fats can't ever admit just how much they're eating. Thyroid conditions don't really affect your metabolism.  However, they do impact a person's mood and overall energy level, thereby affecting how much exercise the person gets.  Besides, even if someone has hypothyroidism, that can easily be fixed 100% with a single pill every morning.  It's really not that hard and every legitimate doctor on the planet is probably getting sick of hearing that dumbass excuse from fats.
