I was on prednisone also but I had high doses for MS. Just eat healthy and Don't give into any cravings! I know that's easier said than done but what I did that helped was... increased my Protein by drinking 3 chocolate Premiere Protein (90g total protein) drinks between meals a day. I tried to stay as close to my daily caloric intake as well. The increase in protein helped to control that constant hungry feeling and the chocolate satisfied my cravings. Continue to drink 64 oz+ of Water also. Sticking to your weight loss plan when prescribed prednisone is the most important thing to do to maintain/lose weight. If you've been following your weight loss plan the 3 pounds you're seeing on the scale will go away after you stop the prednisone because it was cause by temporary swelling of the body. That's way I don't weigh myself when I'm on prednisone but I do follow my weight loss plan. Don't worry and stay honest with yourself. At least you informed your Dr and have 3 weeks until your next weigh-in. That will give your body time the for the swelling to reduce. I went through this last month and dropped 6lbs. This month was 12lbs (weigh-in was yesterday) because the rest of the swelling was gone. It is challenging but not impossible. Good luck, you got this busybeebug!
