Hi Leah,

I just want to say hang in there. I know all about steroid hunger - it can be quite vicious!

All I can suggest is to stick to LC foods when that hunger (and it's worse than usual "hunger" ) strikes. You probably won't lose much while you are still on the prednisone, but once you finish the course, you will lose a lot of extra water, so that's something to look forward to. There is just no way to cut down on your intake when you are on steroids. It's as though there's an alien inside you demanding you eat. Totally normal.

I'm lucky in that when I'm on steroids (none needed for over 12 months now ) all I really want to eat is meat and cheese. No yearnings for sweet things at all. Of course, pre LC I used to worry dreadfully about all that fatty meat and cheese. Nice to know it's actually good for us!

Cheers, and may the weight loss soon recommence!
