Hi Gypsi-- I should be happy that I am off prednisone and also quit smoking... but I sure don't like this weight gain! I had spent considerable time and effort losing weight and now it is creeping back on. I usually am so happily disciplined sticking to a healthy eating plan. All of a sudden that is out the window! I am trying to isolate the problem and get it back under control. Maybe I was hoping to pin it on prednisone since it seemed to mess me up in several ways. I'm fishing for a psychological angle to get back on track. If I thought this weight gain was due to side effects instead of lack of self-control, I would be happy. Whatever works is fine with me! The honey suggestion is great. I, too, have been craving chocolate and sweets... along with carbs... and salty things. Thanks! sanndiego
