Weekly Food Recipes for People on Prednisone

Prednisone. It pushes blood sugar higher and makes it difficult to process carbs of any kind. A diet of non-starchy vegetables and protein is the answer to keeping weight under control while on this wonderful/horrible drug. I haven't written about my diet in a while. All is well. Stable. I thought it might be interesting to blog about the food for this week. I will stay within 1,400 calories and workout in rehab for an hour every day as usual.

Breakfast is going to be a breakfast crustless quiche -
