Hello @ciprianj,
Smashing article, as always! A question: people who are on maintenance steroid doses (therapeutic) tend to put on weight over time, even people on low doses. Why is that? Can that weight gain be modified by exercise/diet?
Thanks 😇
Hope you have a great week!
Yeah they add weight because steroids drugs are also the precursor for cholesterol and fat synthesis. Infact, they play significant role in fat production.
So it is not surprising to see them add in weight. But once the therapy is discontinued, by modifying their diets and regular exercise, they will definitely burn of the fats accumulated.
Do a have a lovely weekend too ❣️
