Melissa Liddle, PD Q: What is the best way to lose weight that you gained from being on prednisone in the past year? The only real way to lose weight is to burn more calories than are consumed. Calories are burned at rest performing basic bodily functions.
It is possible to increase metabolism which will increase the calories the body burns on its own. Some possible ways to increase metabolism include not skipping meals, eating many small meals rather than going for long period without eating and by increasing muscle mass through exercise.
Cardiovascular exercise such as walking or swimming will help burn calories above and beyond what your body burns to function.
Even starting with small amounts of exercise and slowly working up can be beneficial. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
Cutting down on calories is another way to lose weight. The combination of decreased calories with increased activities will be the most effective. Cutting calories too much is not the answer either. This puts your body into starvation mode and slows your metabolism which causes you to hold onto weight. A well-balanced diet which includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein is important.
Speak with a dietician about what your dietary goals should be and a dietary plan that would be ideal for you.

For quick, acute cases, it is often given in a large dose, and then reduced in dose each day for approximately a week, until it is gone.
For chronic conditions, it may be used at a constant, lower daily dose than the large burst. Short-term side effects include stomach upset, increased blood sugar levels, and insomnia. Therefore, it is recommended to be taken first thing in the morning after breakfast. However, when taking the large burst, it can be hard on the stomach, even after a full meal.
For this reason, the large burst dosing may be broken into half the daily dose after breakfast and half the daily dose after lunch.
The earlier in the day it is finished, the better, as it will not interfere with sleep if taken early. The dosepaks recommend it to be taken in spread out time periods throughout the day, including bedtime, to decrease the stomach upset. However, studies have shown issues with sleep, so the earlier, the better.
