I dramatically gained weight during my first year with MG and the high dose of cortisol (100mg daily over months) lead to increased appetite and terrible cushing syndrome. Tried to start all kinds of diet efforts without any successs at all.
I had to learn patience. Reduction of cortisol doses took months and even when I finally got down to 5mg, my body would still not react to any diet changes. After all November last year I found some balance and started a diet substituting 2 daily meals by specific shakes or bars. Lost 25kilos since then which enabled me to physically work on my muscle deficiencies.
Despite this success I am well aware that I need to find a more balanced diet. Substituting meals by fabricated products might have been a good way to get started on the long run, however, I still need to learn which kind of food helps to cope with MG. Thankful for any advice. 😉
