Looking for anyone who has gained weight due to prednisone (I have Lupus)

Options
Anyone else have an auto immune disease or any disease where you have to use prednisone? Overnight I got fat!

    I have the same issue. Diagnosed 2 years ago. Have packed on over 50 lbs. I have found that my fitness goals are not based on the number I see on the scale, but rather the level of activity I am able to do each day. I have also changed my eating habits to incorporate a keto/paleo plan to reduce inflammation.

    The trick with prednisone is too override that brain impulse to eat. It hardwired you to get your chow on. Keep focused on a set food plan and try to really stay hydrated. I think that is a huge help.
