what about coffee?

Thanks - Comforting to know I'm not the only one eating all the bad stuff! I liked sweets and bad stuff before pred but now really crave it!
That would be a good idea Sangye if we can help each other make healthier choices.

I thought I better fess up, still drinking diet coke and craving sugar, getting a little bit better now Im down to 15mg of Pred but those cravings are terrible. Im
like you Brooke I have to have something and now.. I try but sometimes I cant do without my diet coke.
I know what is good for me but..... I also drink a bit of tea. But interesting what Sangye stated about the fire element. Sometimes I might want a cuppa but just makes me too hot. Thats when I turn to water or diet coke.
I know bad.....
cheers Col 23

Dang! Life used to be simple when I was ignorant and healthy! I truly, realy need to pay attention more to diet than I do, even if I'm off prednisone. The energy level business is a concern. I, too, tend to take the path of least effort, some days eating things even healthy people shouldn't touch! Keep pounding away, Sangye. Maybe we all can get our acts together through a constant reminder of what constitutes bad news for weggies, food wise.

Brooke, when i was on 60 pred, I could eat a horse with hoofs. I ate everything that was available, getting up 3-4 times a night to snack. I blossomed from a comfortable 155 to 220lb in three months.

Yes it was quite torturous when I was on 50mg pred.


Does any one fancy doing a diet/healthy eating thread? Everyone can decide what outcome they want- maybe just eating more healthily/sharing tips/ recipes to use those anti-inflammatory foods that are supposedly good for people with wegeners/ or trying to lose weight and we can post what we've eaten/how well we've done etc?
