Thyroid problem after competition

[Bellla]

Hi guys. I am new here and i hope i made the post in the right section. I need a bit of help. I finished a competition prep about 5 weeks ago and i am having problems with my thyroid or at least i suspect so. I keep gaining weight even though my diet was on track with minor indulgence ( maybe a doughnut in the weekend or a ice cream cone) nothing serious and yet the bloating and the weight gain is getting serious Has anyone had this problem before and if yes what did you use or would recommend? I mention i am a girl so it might help find answer. Thank you

How do you know is your thyroid? Did you do exams to confirm this hypothesis?

You said you finished a competition prep... Usually after competition is very common rebounds in weight gain. If you do not plan your strategy correctly, you are likely to suffer from rebounding. Did you have a coach during your prep?

Keep the diet 100%, the workout 100% ... this retention and weight gain is an acute response to stress that you have subjected your body to during prep.

The end of a prep is the most delicate time... It is when some girls stop using androgens and they slowly return to the maintenance calories. As I said, the lack of strategy will make the rebound much worse.

Did you use steroids? Did you stop? Hormonal crash also cause rebounds.

Oh I forgot to ask?

Did you use thyroid hormones during your prep? Clenbuterol?

Did you do blood tests before, during and after prep?

this is a complicated issue

without blood work it is impossible to blame your thyroid. when you cut down calories you really do slow down metabolism, it is true.. doesn't mean it wont' come back though.

You need to get blood work or we are all just guessing

Check out this article I wrote on adrenal fatigue -> https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/anabolic-steroids-peds/adrenal-fatigue-explained-60498.html

What you are experiencing is VERY normal. I work with a lot of competitors. You need to slowly reverse yourself out of your diet and slowly transition back into an offseason program.

as pointed out, without blood work, all you are getting are theories and hypothesizing.. guesswork is not the answer
