That's a pretty wide brush you are swinging there. I gained 35 lbs. on steroid injections that I have to take for painful arthritis and until I can get my hip replacement, I am not allowed to exercise per doctor's orders. I eat like a bird, do not use sugar, do not eat fried foods and most days I skip dinner. My sister takes Prednisone as she has Meniere's Disease, she also very eats very little and is overweight from the medication. We jokingly refer to ourselves as the "Steroid Sisters". So, no, we are not fat because we eat too much. There are medical conditions and medications that can cause people to gain weight.

There are medical conditions and.... No doubt you are right, but Coke didn’t cause your problem either.

My sister takes Prednisone as she has Meniere's Disease ...

I've had Meniere's since 1971 ... I currently take no medications for it, yet at one time, I was taking some and spending a month block of time in the hospital on several different occasions ... if you are not against holistic healing, there's much you can do for Meniere's.
