Re: Was Bill Maher fat shaming or just telling the truth?


quote:

Diabetes, hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease, Addison's disease, other related hormone diseases,



None of those will make you gain weight UNLESS YOU OVER EAT!

Diabetes in particular is associated with dramatic weight loss (the body unable to metabolise glucose excretes it in the urine.

When my diabetes was untreated I was losing over 10 pounds per week AND eating huge amounts because I was constantly hungry

there is only one way to gain weight* and that is the simple arithmetic of more calories in than go out


*Lymphoedema will make you retain water which will make you heavier but it wont make you fat - ONLY FOOD CAN MAKE YOU FAT

I teach a weekly diabetic class at the VA, if you are insulin dependent you can gain weight. All the diseases I specified can.

Can they be treated, mitigated, or slowed ?
Does treating them include changing one's diet and eating habits ?
Do you teach that in your VA health classes ?

If so, sorry, technically, you should admit that you just lost the argument, Katie.
Can you understand why, Ms. Teacher ?

If that is not what you teach, what do suggest for people with early onset type 2 diabetes, M'arm ?

So, practically, as the authority figure that you are, how many regular soft drinks per day are okay for you if you have minor type 2 diabetes or other issues like type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, Cushing's disease, Addison's disease or are just obese ?

Sorry, you aren't going to dumb me down. I am more than aware how important diet is for diabetics, whether type I or II.

if you are an insulin dependent diabetic and eat too much you will certainly gain weight!

you will get fat with any disease if you eat too much!

diseases create no calories - none of them do and the only way to gain weight is to each more calories than you expend

ABSOLUTELY
but then you will know that diabetes has no calories ONLY food has calories.

BTW since being diagnosed I have lost 50 pounds - I lost it in a couple of months by finally recognising how important what I ate was.
My weight has been stable for over 5 years - maybe I have low calorie diabetes?

Re: Was Bill Maher fat shaming or just telling the truth?


  I have a husband who's a diabetic, and I had a roommate in college that was diabetic, both my husband and my roommate are skinny everywhere but their stomaches, both ate less than me.

not sure, why they have a tummy, but I always thought it was because of their diabetics. I used to have people come up to me and ask me to please eat more. I just forgot to eat, but when I remembered, to eat. I would eat more than most people. I think i a have an eating disorder. They both think it's not fair that I can eat so much more than them. so, I do think diabetic in some people once they gained weight, it's hard for them to lose weight in targeted areas.

And exactly whose business is it to tell people being fat is bad, or that they should eat less if they want to be thinner? I like fat people a lot better than I like nosy and presumptuous people. Bill Maher is a jerk.



He probably wouldn't be saying anything about it if wasn't for the politically incorrect nature of telling the truth about people becoming overweight and the harm that can cause. A lot of phony excuses are given for people being fat and remaining fat when in reality being overweight is a choice.

Fat people are fat because they eat more than they need to.

That is also true that persons can be skinny and usually it is what happens, insulin resistance reeks havoc on the body in many ways. The persons I've seen overweight are persons who diabetes isn't controlled with insulin, they have all kinds of severe health problems, high blood pressure uncontrolled, heart and kidney problems and weight gain...........
