Reply To: Managing Prednisone Weight Gain

[Community Member]

I was on 100mg a day and gained 50 pounds in 60 days.  The first thing I did was stop all salt and all fried/greasy foods.  I was on Prednisone for 11 years … finally got off it.  I lost 35 of the 50 pounds in just a couple of months.  I’m at a good weight now, I was too skinny before.  I have stayed off the salt and fried/greasy foods for 30 years and I don’t miss them at all.  Everything goes in the oven or the crockpot.  Good luck everyone.
