Weight loss on steroids

[RAveteran]

I am back on steroids 😩 currently take 5mg daily. I've always been around a size 10/12 but now it seems the weight is piling on.

Does anyone have any tips on how to lose weight whilst on steroids? Any special diets out there?

I know this is an oldish thread but I am still on steroids and have put on weight. Any success stories?

I’ve got Addisons disease so on replacement steroids + whatever I need to function efficiently and I’ve just lost over 1 1/2 stone doing low carb , it’s taken about 9 weeks . BMI is now 26 so a bit more to go .

@Floralnomad that's great in such a short time!

I am trialling nutracheck to see if logging food helps. Looks good so far. Just need to see if it works!
