Obesity is not permanently due to overeating and underexercising. The body’s own endocrine system can turn on the body, causing multipe problems, one of which is obesity.

this is just plain terrible luck
OOOOO SHIT – I am studying law, I so hope I don’t end up like this hahaha. Kidding, I weigh 150 pounds and cook my own meals of fish, steak, vegies and fruit. It’s fantastic, cooking prevents obesity, also reg exercise and wieght lifitng!!
This is bullsh**….you can’t east just 1,500 calories a day and have 500 pounds. Does this doctore really reckon she eats healthy meals like she she states?
ya she was, and I hope they both can back to her normal shape…..
its sad how this turned out-she used to look like a movie star
Ah, I see. That is problematic.
If you walk into a doctors office stout they roll thier eyes and reckon “Here we go, another whiney fatty wondering why she’s soooooo fucking FAT!” and they patronise you and tell you to eat carrots. Studies have show Doctors overtly discriminate against stout people, even modertly overweight.
OMG! That woman was very pretty
It makes me feel terrible
“After three days on a liquid diet his body, used to feeding his every craving, is struggling with hunger.”
so when u don’t eat you struggle with hunger???
this documentary shows how extremely perilous these common mindsets are.
How is it that other physicians diagnosed her with overeating if she only eats 1300 calories a day? Did they reckon she was lying?
I despise how ignorant ppl make this into a FAT person’s disease but really it’s soo much more. Cushing’s can nearly ruin your body – causing high blood pressure, blood clots, diabetes, osteoporosis, SEVERE swelling not only in face and mid section but feet and legs, thinning of skin, deterioration of muscle… the list is so long. The person I care about looked nothing like this woman but it damn near killed him.
im sorry that you have to struggle with explaining this to extemely immature and ignorant people – it’s terrible sufficient to haver to have to deal with it, congratulations on the success of your surgery
she was really pretty
poor woman : (
she was a excellent looker too.
hi – a tumour on the pituatry can cause Cushings if there is too much cortisol, if the growth hormone is stimulated it causes acromegaly where bone production is increased – too much growth hormone also causes gigantism, like Jaws in James Bond. Pituatry surgery can cure acromalagy, but i dont know if it will reverse the symptoms in the same way it does cushings
I suspected for awhile that I had cushings but it turned out to be another endocrine disorder that was affecting my weight. It took years to be diagnosed correctly. Now with medication on top of diet and exercise I’m starting to get my weight down but it took the medication to make it possible.
No.
I’m not an expert but are you ever heard about acromegaly?
I have all the symptoms, except the lump n back of neck. My nose has grown n a year, my neck is stout, & my mid section is growing & growing. I am 27 years ancient, & look like I’m 7 months pregnant. Did U have all the symptoms that I have?
Prednisone may cause weight gain and other ill effects on people who do not overeat. I have been on small term steroids. It does reshape the body and chipmunk cheeks upshot.
0:58 haha DR.Freeman from half life
Is there normal elimination?
I been thru more than what this video shows, I Was Diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome and the age of 16, and had to have both of my adrenal glands removed as well, I am now doin better lost over 250 pounds in a year, and its not because I was over eatin or anything, when i was 16 i weighed 110 lbs. If anyone comes across this and needs support or needs someone to talk to who went thru the whole thing, please feel free to leave me a message and I will get back to u A.S.A.P
Sorry I hit the incorrect “thumb”, but I do agree with what you’re saying. We’re a stout, undisciplined country.
Your right. The thing is most people just say “its in my family” or “I can’t control it” and throw their hands in the air and go back to eating the way they normally do and not exercising. Thats why nationalized shape care is such a tough issue for me. Do I, a successful healthy guy who goes to the gym and eats healthy, want to pay for the rest of America who can’t seem to grasp the responsibility of compelling care of their bodies.
