Re: steriods and diet

Hezzy,
Steroids can certainly make it difficult to lose weight, maintain weight and control appetite. I recommend my patients try eating several small, portion controlled meals per day in order to curb hunger between meals. Add extra fruits and vegetables as these are low calorie and high fiber which will help you feel full. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids which can also help balance out that difficult to manage hunger. Lastly, if able, try to get some physical activity.

Best wishes to you.

Tanya
