Because there are detrimental effects to health from hyperthyroidism as much there is hypo. It can also be costly and frustrating to have to eat a lot.

i understand the 2nd part

but "Because there are detrimental effects to health from hyperthyroidism as much there is hypo. "??
so we have to go through detrimental effects to our health to get healthy?

Oh. You're talking about hypermetabolism in recovery. Sorry. Hyperthyroidism is different to hypermetabolism.

Hypermetabolism, however, is still frustrating both cost-wise and because really, having to eat so much can be physically draining. It also does not last forever for a recovering anorectic; eventually the body adapts and metabolism slows down.
