  • You might want to talk to your doctor about adjusting or changing you medication. Prednisone is hell on your body as far as weight loss goes. Just for curiosity are you checking your blood ketones or glucose levels? I ask because steroids can cause gluconeogenesis and actually kick you out of ketosis regardless of presence…

  • I haven't been exercising very much. I try to do what I can in my tiny house. I walk for a few hours a day weather permitting. Which lately hasn't been much.
