4 Drugs That Make You FAT

Fat Pill Drugs

Are those drugs really fat pills?

Fat pills in disguise! That’s what many common medications really are.

It’s the ultimate medical double cross. You take a pill to get rid of one health problem — allergies, insomnia, or even heart disease — but while you’re working on that your weight spirals out of control, giving you a whole new set of problems.

You feel hungry all the time. Your appetite is ferocious, but your metabolism seems to have gone on vacation. Week after week, the numbers on your scale keep going up.

Extra trips to the gym don’t make a dent in your weight. A strict diet hardly budges the scale. Frustration, anger, and depression set in as your waistline expands for no apparent reason.

It may be years before you think to complain to your doctor. Even then, you might not hear what you need to know: Weight gain is a commonly overlooked side effect of everyday medications.

Even if you discover the truth, you’ll still have to deal with the pounds. A better plan? Know ahead of time which four common medications are secret fat pills that make you pack on the pounds and fight back against these unwanted weight gain drugs with an all-natural solution.

Allergy Medications

More than 13 million people went to their doctor in 2010 to complain about allergies. It’s estimated that 60 million Americans suffer from allergies, making them the fifth most common chronic complaint.

You may reach for over the counter allergy pills as a first line of defense for your nose when the sniffles strike… but you’re not doing your belly any favors. While these pills may help stop the sneezes, they also help you pack on the pounds by altering your appetite.

The antihistamine diphenhydramine increases your appetite as long as you’re on the medication. It’s found in Benadryl, Alka-Seltzer Plus Allergy and many generic antihistamine products. Instead of pure allergy relief, you get the chance to pack on “mystery” pounds that seem to spring up out of nowhere.

Sleeping Pills

Sleep deprivation is a quick path to weight gain. If you’re short on sleep, you eat an average of 300 extra calories a day. While it may not seem like much, those 300 calories represent “a substantial increase in energy intake that, if maintained chronically, would lead to rapid and robust weight gain,” according to sleep researcher Eve Van Cauter.

Making matters worse is that most of those calories come in the form of high-fat and high-sugar junk foods. Ice cream is a favorite food of the sleep deprived and so is fast food. Thus, turning to sleeping pills is a smart weight loss choice … or is it?

It turns out sleeping pills are actually weight gain drugs that boost your appetite even more. Common over the counter pills like Sominex, Unisom, and Nytol all stimulate your appetite. Add the calorie hike you’re already getting from being tired in the first place and this one-two punch is a sure path to unwanted and unwelcome pounds.

Antidepressants

Being overweight can make you feel depressed … but don’t count on antidepressants to give you any help with the scale.

Leading antidepressants such as Paxil, Pexeva and Celexa actually work to increase your appetite. They are SSRIs that contain paroxetine and citalopram, which modify your perception of hunger. Other antidepressants that work on dopamine won’t give you the same weight gain problems these pills will, but the likelihood of extra pounds isn’t always highlighted as a potential side of treatment. As a result, you may find yourself feeling better but looking worse.

Heart Medication

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Unfortunately, heart medications can also cause unwanted weight gain.

The top culprits are dedicated beta-blockers such as Lopressor and Tenormin, which really should be called fat pills! Researchers believe these drugs reduce your overall metabolic rate, making it harder for you to burn calories and lose weight. Sadly, weight gain isn’t even mentioned as a common side effect by top medical sites like the Mayo Clinic, leaving you in the dark as to why you’re putting on extra pounds while you take heart pills.

Fight “Fat Pills” and Weight Gain Drugs

These sneaky fat pills make you pack on pounds by altering your body’s basic chemistry. They pump you full of artificial compounds and sabotage your metabolism. To fight back, you have to be ready to meet these weight gain drugs at their own level with sound cellular science.

What you need isn’t another pill — it’s a spray. ThinMistâ„¢ is a revolutionary mouth spray that floods your body with the critical minerals, amino acids, and bio-identical hormones you need to fight drugs that make you fat. Just like those sneaky pills, ThinMistâ„¢ goes to work at the cellular level – but for your benefit.

It may seem hard to believe that a simple spray could kick your body back into fat-burning mode … but then again, you probably didn’t believe that simple, everyday pills could make you fat, either. Let your scale give you the ultimate proof…

    I was introduced to a weight loss program called Fat to Skinny Fast and Easy. This is , basically, a low carb, low sugar diet. One learns where the hidden sugars are in our food and how to avoid them. We really don’t eliminate anything but we learn to substitute. My wife and I feel great. She has lost 30 lb. and I have lost 35 lbs so far. We are both diabetic and it is great to see our blood numbers come down. We check them every day. My cardiologist says he applauds me for my weight loss.
