The content provides an in-depth explanation of the effects of prednisone, a synthetic glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid, on the body. It highlights how prednisone mimics cortisol to help maintain balance during stress but can lead to weight gain when taken in higher doses. To help manage these side effects, Dr. Megan offers a free downloadable Prednisone checklist designed to assist individuals in maintaining their weight and overall well-being while on prednisone.
Key Takeaways:
1. Weight Gain: Prednisone can lead to a weight gain of 4-8% of body weight, especially at higher doses, due to fat redistribution, increased appetite, and water retention.
2. Glucose Metabolism: The medication affects glucose metabolism, causing elevated blood sugar and insulin levels, which can trigger hunger cravings and poor food choices.
3. Water Retention: Prednisone can cause water retention due to sodium imbalance, impacting blood pressure and heart health.
4. Muscle and Bone Mass: The drug negatively impacts muscle and bone mass, reducing the body's resting metabolic rate and making weight gain more likely.
5. Mood and Emotional Effects: Prednisone can cause mood changes, insomnia, and emotional disturbances, which can disrupt eating habits and contribute to weight gain. Dr. Megan's free downloadable Prednisone checklist can help manage these side effects.

I have been on prednisone since mid-March starting on 40 mg.for GCA. Have had 2 infusions of Actemra with the goal of reducing the prednisone gradually. My doctor suggested I cut out white sugar, white flour and all processed foods and have managed not to gain weight and feel so much better since I have started this regimen. I am taking all the suggested vitamins and supplements to help with changes to my body. I do appreciate your help since I found you on utube. I will continue on this diet for as long as necessary! It's helped my arthritis as well!
I have been on Prednisone almost a year for GCA. Also on Actemra (infusion) so that I could get off the prednisone quicker. Started prednisone at 50, now at 2mg. I did not gain weight until I started taking Tymlos for bone loss. Weight gain is not reported on Tymlos except on the National Osteoporosis website. There many women report weight gain from Tymlos. I have only gained about 5 pounds, but still so disapointing as it is so hard to lose. I am a vegan and I believe that is why I have not gained more weight. Just reporting this for your (Dr. Megan) info. I have appreciated your videos so much along this journey.
G'day from WA ! (from Western Australia 😎)

Thank you so much 👍👍
I am on tge carnivore diet and I am on 5mg prednisone daily for over a year and a half. I have zero weight gain problems. Actually, I don't want to loose any more weight.
I am totally off carbs and zero sugar. No seed oils, zero processed foods, 99% off dairy. I garnish with a small amount of mozzarella cheese once in a while on a burger patty.
I am on the carnivore diet. Fatty beef, (ribeye and chuck roast) butter, salt and water.
I am never hungry and never crave carbs or sugar. As a result of this diet, zero weight gain on Prednisone.
Impressive!
50 ml per day, caused damage to thigh muscles and now struggle to walk..
I got sarcodoisis and i feel like superman on this.
Wait until you start going down . When I was on 20 mg for sarcoidosis and all my shoulder pain and hip pain got like 90% better, then they dropped me to 15mg and my pains got a little worse after about a week of being on 15mg , two weeks ago im down to 10 mg and I gust had the worst 3 days of my life. I think things are calming down again though and if so Im going to call the doc up and see if I can go down to 5mg.
That’s pretty common at the beginning!
Why has the doctor prescribed me prednisone if it is so bad? It frightens me to take it with all these negative attributes.
Prednisone is a miracle drug that save lives but definitely causes horrible side effects.
