    You can lose weight on prednisone. You just need willpower. Any weight gained from medication alone is due to water weight. Keep yourself hydrated. As for hunger.. try sticking to proteins and fats. I've taken the medication before, long enough to get moonface ,so I understand your frustration

    I was lucky and didn't gain anything on it (I was retaining fluid until I got down to 50mg and sweat/peed it out but I was in hospital so didn't get to weight myself until I got home and did 3 more months weening)
