Stupid comment for anyone to make. Surprised at him really. Maybe he's another who is loosing his marbles. What should we prescribe for that ?
I agree. I piled on weight when my thyroid went wrong then mobility and health problems made it very difficult for me to get it all back off again. I managed it by going vegan but it didn't agree with me and I then got other health issues, (always tired, felt weak, low iron, muscle loss) and I felt I actually looked older by the time I got my weight back down to 9st 3 (recommended for my height) from 16 stone.
Steriods also make you pile on weight, .the menopause (if you're female!), sure there's other meds too.
Some have psychological issues with foods (mental illness) so its unfair to judge people and say they 'just need to eat less' cos you have no idea what they're battling with everyday!
