Can a fitness trainer help me lose weight if I have a thyroid problem?

I have hypothyroidism and my body makes to much insulin, would a trainer be able to help me lose weight?Can a fitness trainer help me lose weight if I have a thyroid problem?I have the same exact problem. As you know, hypothyroidism slows your metabolism wayyyyy down and insulin resistance makes you gain weight when you eat carbohydrates and/or sugar. You CAN lose weight with the help of a trainer, but it will be a lot more difficult than someone else doing the same thing, of course. I highly recommend, if you have not already, switching to a low carb diet. It doesn't have to be as drastic as Atkins; a diet like South Beach is fine. Unfortunately, you probably won't be one of the lucky ones that can eat as much as you want of low carb foods, because of the pesky thyroid problem. I didn't lose weight until I ate 1200 calories a day even eating low carb! Also, when you exercise you burn up more T3, so you may need to increase your thyroid replacement hormone. Make your endocrinologist aware that you are starting an exercise regiment and make sure he/she does labs every 2-3 months to make sure your levels are okay. Typically, someone with thyroid disease will not be able to lose much weight until the TSH gets under a 1.
