Thank you for your question. I am Dr Asanghanwa Carlson. I must let you know a major side effect of the steroids is weight gain. However this is usually resolved in the months following cessation of the treatment. This can be achieved through a controlled diet and rigourous exercise. I would advice you avoid lots of fatty foods and also eat balanced meals three times a day alongside regular exercise for at least 30 minutes three times weekly. You could consult a dietician for appropriate meals. Good luck
