Best advice for you at the end of this video i’ll share what my best tactics were and a tip that i have to share for you so first we have this i’m going to be reading these so my eyes will be over here looking at that screen but i want you to hear their words because they take prednisone just like you this one said i found it easier to control my appetite at 120
Milligrams through 90 milligrams then 60 milligrams down to 20 milligrams and constantly hungry only since passing through 40 milligrams did i really start to eat exponentially more and my weight increase i find that really interesting because i that’s the opposite of how i usually see it i usually see the higher the dose the higher the hunger cravings but he had
Less hunger cravings at those super high doses he continues trying harder now to control caloric intake and as i recover increasing my exercise regime the exercise does not really impact on weight per se but it does help to suppress my appetite for a while additional benefits come in two forms i walked my dog 5 000 steps this morning good weight-bearing exercise
To help retain muscle mass but more importantly weight-bearing exercise helps combat the impact of steroids on bone mass and therefore addresses some of my concerns about future osteoporosis then he says he does cardiovascular on an exercise bike later moderate exercise to take my pulse to 120 to 130 beats per minute not too strenuous but helps maintain muslim
Is beneficial to respiratory function and circulation one of those things this is his final perspective if i had the choice of survival against gaining weight survival gaining weight get me a new wardrobe every time so for him the weight gain is a price he’s willing to pay to survive that was the same for me all right now we’re moving down to heather heather said

A day with healthy snacks like avocado or meat with salad and fruit sometimes greens as the main portion with butter just rethinking what’s worth eating and what’s not being flexible about traditional cereal breakfast occasionally that when i have i have that as a treat i’ve had a few mince pie breakfast lately so i think she is from a different country because
We don’t talk about the canteen quite as much here all right now lori laura says she’s taking it right before bedtime and that’s what helps her that only helps when she wakes up until she wakes up in the morning so she doesn’t eat all night that’s good all right sharon said keto really worked i lost 45 pounds in six months and felt fantastic she’s trying to
Get back to it gotta dive right back in i did great on keto and then i fell off the wagon so that was lori sharon now ken ken said he exercises daily and he said his best recommendation is to control what you eat in both the quality and the quantity i couldn’t agree more with that all right agnes says sauerkraut yep every day a small serving even if it’s just
Putting it putting a fork in the glass jar and swirling it around and eating it just like that so much more comes out of you with less effort and it helps with the cravings big time you’ll notice at the end of your first jar give it some time i’ve never tried that one i would love to hear if anybody else has and what your results are because that sounds like
