STEALS AND DEAL TUESDAY
ENJOY THE MOVE -- DEALS TO ENJOY
THE MOVIES.
THAT'S ON MONDAY.
>>> MEDICATIONS ARE A PART OF
LIFE AND SOMETIMES WEIGHT GAIN
COMES WITH THAT.
SO WHAT CAN WE DO TOCOMBAT
THAT?
WELCOME BACK, DOCTOR.
AGO.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT ARE SOMEOF
THE MOST POPULAR PRESCRIBED
MEDICATIONS THAT HAVE THE SIDE
EFFECTS OF WEIGHT GAIN?
>> IT'S LIKE INSULI
SOME DO LESS THAN OTHERS.
SOME ARE LIKE -- LESS WEIGHT
GAIN BUT SOME OF THE STUFF CAN
CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN.
SOME ANT HISTAMINES.
ESPECIALLY WITH THE WAY FLORIDA
IS LIKE CLAIRETEN ANDALEGRA.
>> SO THAT'S GOING TO BLANKET
ANY TYPE OF ALLERGIES.
SO YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT,
OKAY, IF YOU'RE ALLERGIC.
WHAT ARE THINGS YOU CAN DO
HOW CAN YOU COMBAT IT?
>> PROBABLY DO IT ON AS AS
NEEDED BASIS.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO TAKE, YOU
KNOW, ANTHISTAMINES ON A DAILY
BASIS.
REGULARLY.
WATCH CALORIES AND CARB INTAKE.
SOMETIMES YOU NEED THE
MEDICATIONS SO EVEN THOUGH
THAT'S A SIDE EFFECT, YOU CAN
TRY TO COUNTER THE SIDE EFFECTS.
>> WHAT ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL?
I KNOW A LOT OF WOMEN AS SOON AS
THEY GO O THE PILL THEY'LL GAIN
ABOUT FIVE POUNDS.
IS THAT WATER RETENTION?
PART OF THE DRUG OR NOT REALLY?
>> PHYSICALLY IT'S WATER
RETENTION BECAUSE WITH SOME OF
THE BIRTH CONTROL, THE HORMONES
LIKE THE INJECTIONS, IT CAUSES
WATER RETENTION.
BECAUSE -- FROM THE WATER
RETENTION YOU GET WEIGHT GAIN.
>> AND THEN SO -- WATER
RETENTION.
DO YOU DRINK MORE FLOW FLUIDS?
>> SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO PUT
PEOPLE ON MED CAYINGS TO HELP
YOU -- MEDICATIONS TO HELP YOU
GET RID OF SOME OF THE FLUID.
BUT -- IT'S REALLY NOT A WHOLE
LOT TO DO OTHER THAN TRY TO
COMBAT THAT WITH THE WEIGHT GAIN
BY EXERCISING REGULARLY.
>> SO THAT'S THE TREND WITH
ANTHISTAMINES AND BIRTH CONTROL.
STEROID?
THAT'S IN A LOT OF THE DRUGS.
STEROIDS.
NOT LIKE INHALED STEROIDS FOR
ASTHMA.
IT'S FOR OTHER DIFFERENT
CONDITIONS LIKE, YOU KNOW,
ASTHMA AND USE IT FOR, YOU KNOW,
SOME OF THE ARTHRITIS.
SOME GET RASHES AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
IT'S LONGER USE SO THEY CAN MAKE
YOU LOT HUNGRIER.
AND EXTENDED TIME.
>> WHAT IS EXTENDED?
OVER A YEAR?
>> IF YOU'RE ON A MONTH.
A SHORT COURSE FOR A WEEK, IT'S
PROBABLY NOT A PROBLEM.
IT'S WEEKS AT A TIME YOU CAN SEE
THE WEIGHT GAIN.
>> AND USUALLY ON A STEROID YOU
NEED IT ANYWAY.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO
GAIN WEIGHT.
>> YOU NEED TO BE ON THE
MEDICATION.
>> IS THERE ANY OTHER ONE?
LILIPTOR
>> SOME THAT REALLY SHOW IT ARE
THE ANTIDEESSANTS.
DIFFERENT MEDICATIONS.
>> AND FOR THOSE TYPES,
>> IF YOU FIND YOU'RE ON A
MEDICATION AND YOU'RE GAINING
SOMETHING THAT IS COMPARABLE.
>> EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT TOO.
SO ONE SIDE EFFECT THAT YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD MIGHT HAVE, YOU
MIGHT BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING.
I THINK THE RULE OF THUMB HERE
IS DIET AND EXERCISE A WATCH
WHAT YOU EAT.
