Seven pharmaceuticals that cause weight gain

EZ Diet Note:  I’m surprised that antibiotics aren’t listed in the article below. Find anyone on tetracycline for life for clear skin, and they’ll be obese. See:  http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/antibiotics-linked-weight-gain-mice/

The article below is also a  big reason why you shouldn’t consume straight tap water.

I’m also beginning to suspect part of the problem with fast food and most restaurant food is not just excessive sodium, but also much higher levels of antibiotic residue in cheap over-processed chicken, beef, and farm grown fish.

Clear Skin Tip

Replace tetracycline for life prescribed by a dermatologist for clear skin with Allicinmax garlic. It has to be the Allicinmax brand, no other brand has isolated and stabilized the allicin compound in a capsule. The better advice for adult skin problems is find out which polluted processed food(s) cause the problem.  It’s probably wheat, and/or milk and cheap cheese.  The Ezekiel Diet eliminates both of these egregious, unhealthy, over-processed, crack food groups.

Six (more) pharmaceuticals that cause weight gain

As seen at Slender.news

All else being equal, losing weight is difficult enough. When you take pharmaceuticals known for causing weight gain, the battle of the bulge gets that much harder.

For your information, below is a list of six common pharmaceutical medications that have been show to cause weight gain.

1. Antidepressants

Older antidepressants, namely Elavil, are the most notorious for leading to extra pounds. Even the common brand Zoloft can lead to a net gain of 30 pounds over a few months. This is odd, however, since serotonin is a natural appetite suppressant.

2. Insulin

According to one study, significant relationships between insulin for treating type 2 diabetes and weight gain were noted. This is because insulin forces the sugar out of the blood stream where it is immediately turned into fat. A common solution is to simply avoid overly sugary foods.

3. Antihistamines

Including Benadryl, Nytol and generics, these drugs block histamines which regulate both appetite suppression and fat metabolism. When the brain is no longer given a strong message that the stomach is full, it sends the body into an eating overdrive.

4. Psychotropics

Taken to otherwise maintain emotional stability, psychotropics inevitably led to fast weight gain upward of 37 pounds. Scientists believe this is a direct cause of neural receptors, affected by the drugs, tied with inhibited fat to energy conversion.

5. Steroids

Steroids, like prednisone, are absolutely the worst when it comes to staying at a healthy weight. Increased fluid retention and a much higher appetite typically mean higher calorie diets. Users also report added fat to places including the belly, back of the neck and face.

6. Valproic Acid

Otherwise known as VPA, Valproic Acid is taken as a popular way to treat epilepsy because of its ability to prevent convulsions. About 57% of adults that take the drug do gain weight. While on the drug, users crave much more fast food in addition to giving in to binge eating much more often.
