Djpatties, you are correct. Statins prescribed for cholesterol lowering do not cause weight gain. However, in recent, very large studies, it was found that about 1 in 6 statin patients gained weight. And it was found that weight gain was caused by them eating more, not the meds. Apparently people on cholesterol meds think they can eat more fattening stuff without raising their cholesterol, so they eat more! Then they blame everything but themselves for it.
I'm not so stupid that I thought being on cholesterol lowering medication meant I could eat unhealthily. I did not change my diet or exercise regime. Oh sorry, I forgot, all fat people are stupid and lazy and live on takeaway food, don't we? What would I know about my own body, not as much as you do.
The weight gain occurred on a non-statin cholesterol lowering drug after I'd tried every type and dosage level of every statin in existence, with horrific side effects from every one of them, but no weight gain. Because of the side effects I've been off all cholesterol lowering medication for about 9 months and the weight I gained will not move.
And who did these "large studies"? Wouldn't have been the drug companies, would it? They've only recently acknowledged the permanent harm statins can do to people so I wouldn't trust them about this either.
What non-statin drug was that? I'm not aware of any pharmaceutical cholesterol lowering agents that increase weight. The rest of your post is balcony. These studies, their protocols, and the sponsors are publicly available online do some research.
Hey JD, this is your Ass. I've taken both statins, non-statins, and done the research. Weight gain is not a side effect. She is a whinger who won't take responsibility for her actions. I don't mind being your ass, but I would never want to be her fat ass.
IIN that fat people should get compliments on social media?
