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


20,mg. tabs for short term. or long term? I'm speaking of auto immune diseases or chemo, where it can be 80mg up to try 200 mg. a day for cancer. I had fungal infection in lungs several years ago, they started me at 20mg, titrating down to 5 mg. daily, for a year, I gained little weight. It's about the disease, the dosing and how long. Steroids don't contain calories, har har, what they do is change the way your metabolism stores fat.

so they dont create fat?

they just change how it is stored?

doesnt fat in one place weigh just as much as fat stored somewhere else?

doesnt 3000Kcal worth of fat weight (about) a pound wherever its stored?

There are two different types of fats, visceral and subcutaneous. Visceral is fat stored in your organs, the most dangerous. Subcu, that horrible stuff you can pull on and jiggle. Belly fat can be both visceral and subcu, which not having a disease this is becoming quite common and those belly's are growing yearly. 3500kcal equals a pound, typical diabetics diet depending on patient should be about 2,000kcal daily, plus exercise. I only do basic nutrition, I teach new diabetics about their disease and medications, depending on type 1 or 2 and for insulin dependent, how to give the injection, their dosing, how to monitor, etc. They then go on to the nutritionist. That is entirely different than being on corticosteroids, it alters the body's electrolytes and water balance and changes where the body stores fat, except the tummy of course, it settles in the face and neck and gives the look, you spend far to much time in the pub. When you stop the weight if you were a normal weight before it takes about 6 months of living your normal pattern as before to drop off. If you have a chronic disease like lupus, there are dietary measures and the goal is to titrate down the prednisone. MS, has other issues, prednisone is also used sometimes in severe flare ups 500 to 1000 mg for 5 days. When possible only low doses are used as prednisone has more serious side effects than weight gain.

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


 Neither my hubby or my roommate are overweight. In grade school, my roommate and I rode the school bus together sat in the same seats, we were the same size. She went into a diabetic coma and was put on insulin, and her stomach got big,
but her legs were skinner than mine. In college she weighted 140, her fat was stored in her belly all through jr. high school and college. My husband weights 160 I don't think he's fat, but he has a big belly, that he cannot get rid of. Even when he weighted 140, he still had a belly that was when he was running 2 miles a day.

right now he's skin and bones, doesn't even have a butt. maybe I just happen to have two people in my life with bellies who are diabetic and who I don't consider to be fat. I don't know. but it seems connected to their diabetics. My husband was skin and bones his whole life until he got diabetics. He got put on insulin, and bam, he got a belly. Without the knowledge, Katie has, I just suspect. it's not their fault.

It isn't their fault and there are programs designed especially for them check with his MD for programs. He should not be a bone with a belly, that is not a good sign and it can be fixed. He needs a particular diet and exercise program. If it's a belly with subcu fat and not visceral you can afford a bit of a belly, it is important for diabetics to know their status as you know diabetes leads to many other diseases.
