[Diabetics beware] Hidden culprit could PILE on the pounds!
The moment you’re diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, your doc becomes OBSESSED with 2 things…
LOWERING your blood sugar with drugs…
And HARASSING you about any extra pounds you may be carrying.
You KNOW that the best way to try to REVERSE your blood sugar woes is by making dietary changes… and keeping your weight IN CHECK…
But it can feel like you’re climbing an UPHILL battle.
If you’ve tried EVERYTHING to maintain a healthy weight with a diabetes diagnosis… and FAILED…
It might not be your fault.
Here’s why.
Stacking the odds AGAINST you
If you can’t SHED any excess weight… and you might even be PACKING on more pounds…
It’s likely that it’s NOT a matter of weakness… laziness… or anything else you might blame yourself for.
It could be prescription drugs you’re taking!
And yes, that INCLUDES blood sugar-lowering diabetes meds your doc has put you on.
You see, certain pharmaceuticals can CAUSE weight gain as a side effect.
And among the most common of the “obesogenic” drugs are those prescribed to diabetics!
I’m talking about thiazolidinediones… sulfonylureas… insulin… and more.
Here’s what really gets my goat…
The latest research shows how these drugs could also SABOTAGE your weight-loss efforts!
You could do ALL the right things when it comes to diet and exercise.
You could follow EVERY piece of advice when it comes to “lifestyle interventions.”
Your efforts could be INTENSE…
And you could STILL not be able to move the needle on your weight!
If you’re already obese, these drugs could KEEP you there. And if you’re just a little on the heavy side now… they could GUARANTEE a future of obesity!
This gets worse — because the MORE obesogenic meds you’re on, the WORSE your chances are for managing a healthy weight.
And too many diabetics are on MULTIPLE medications!
Not just for their diabetes, mind you – but also for mood issues and anything else that docs try to scribble out an Rx to “cure.”
You don’t have to keep running to stand still…
Or, worse yet, working SO HARD to take ONE step forward and TWO steps back.
If you’re worried about your weight… and you’re struggling to control your blood sugar… look into natural alternatives, like…
- bitter melon
- green tea extract(specifically, EGCG)
- berberine
- chromium
- stevia
- yacon root
- and more.
You might be able to STAY off the pharmaceuticals… and finally NORMALIZE your weight.
To not getting fattened up by drugs,
