Are you taking prescribed steroids and putting weight on fast and you're puzzled because you know you are not eating too much?

Have a look at this webpage: Google webpage illustrating Cushing's Syndrome

I hope you are not heading for steroid-induced Cushing's Syndrome...)o:

The trouble is, you have almost certainly not been warned that prescribed steroids cause rapid weight gain, leading to obesity and then to morbid obesity, unless you avoid eating salt and salty food while you are on the steroids. - Read about it here: http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/steroids.html - But if you stop eating salt NOW and keep off it, you can undo some of the harm done and lose weight easily. - IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO CUT DOWN ON FOOD - ONLY CUT DOWN ON SALT. The weight gain is from extra water in the bloodstream; this is called fluid retention. It happens because these drugs weaken/relax the walls of the blood vessels, rendering them vulnerable to salt and the water that accompanies it when it is in the bloodstream. Increased blood volume like this is sometimes called hypervolemia.

Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
