The water weight will leave pretty much immediately. If you have gained weight while on the steroids, that will take a little longer. I suspect you won't gain much though, as long as you stay LC.

These days when I need a course of prednisone I only need 50 mg daily for 5 days (for my asthma). And since switching to low carb, I don't gain anything on that. I used to gain lots - but that was because I was eating plenty of pasta, rice, potatoes etc with my large serves of meat. And the weight would take a long while to leave. As a matter of fact, my whole weight problem only began about 16 years ago when my asthma grew worse. If only I'd known about LC then!

Unfortunately you are unlikely to lose anything while you are still on steroids. But your health has to come first, as I'm sure you realise. Doctors don't put people on steroids lightly.

All the best to you, matey, and as I said before, hang in there!
