I've been taking pred since September, 2000. Before I started, I was following the weight loss program outlined in The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, by Drs. Heller. Not only have I not gained any weight, I have actually lost 4 pounds. I can not reccomend this diet highly enough. I am always satisfied and I do not get the munchies. I started on 20 mg pred and got down to 10 in January. Am now tapering to 5 mg. My doctor kept telling me about the weight gain problems, but so far, so good for me.
