Steroids

I have been on steroids all of my adult life, and probably will be in the future for Systemic Lupus. Does anyone know if it is even worth it for me to try the keto diet if I am on steroids?

Hello there!

I feel you absolutely should try a ketogenic diet while taking steroids! Yes, your weight loss will be slower than someone not taking steroids, but keto is a tool for more than just weight loss. I use this for mental clarity as well as energy. When you are helping to build a good gut biome as well as have healthy mitochondria, your body begins to operate at a more optimal level. Some find a suppressed appetite with keto as they cut out carbs and increase fat intake. I know taking steroids can make you more hungry. I am certainly not a medical professional! If your doctor backs you up, I say go for it and see how you feel. 🙂
