No doubt, that some drugs are linked to weight gain. Among them: almost all diabetic medications except Glucophage, Prozac, Elavil etc. But are they really the cause of weight gain? Or there is some other cause? Are the drugs are adding calories to your diet, or our metabolism is down, leading to weight gain, even if you eat only a handful of food?

Think about it: what is the reason for depression or diabetes? Why you are more likely to have these disease later in your life, but not when you are in you twenties or thirties? Because at this time your hormone levels like testosterone, estrogen and progesterone are in their normal range. The problems start when hormone levels go down. It is called menopause or andropause. Or you are eating too much carbohydrates. The first problem can be corrected by hormone replacement therapy, the second problem should be solved by eating food what cave men ate. Isn’t it simple?
