I had to start taking Prednisone a few days ago. I have to stay on it for at least a month, my dose is relatively small at 20mg once a day (in the morning) My problem, I am hungry all the time. I knew this was a possible side effect (along with weight gain) but at this point I feel that I don't have the luxury of not taking it. I have lost about 65lbs over the last 8 months and I am terrified of gaining it back.

Anyone else out there presently on or have any tips for dealing with Prednisone hunger???

    Prednisone is alot of why I'm on this weight loss journey. I have been off for two years now though. My best advice would be to keep only healthy food in the house because I know and you know your hungry all of the time. Also alot of water, I drank water till I wasn't hungry anymore. It's just something to stop you from stuffing your face. I was on and off pred and other steroids for 3 years. Feel free to message me or add me if you'd like
