Excess weight gain while on Cortef (March 2003) To Valerie

It’s the CAH Valerie.  I’d up his protein portions when this happens.  In addition to the above, most people should eat 2-3 hourly one portion of protein and the other carb because otherwise insulin spikes.  The goal is to keep insulin level and steady and also makes sure that there is a steady amount of protein for the occasions when it can be absorbed into the muscle for them.  A low protein diet and not doing the above would certainly not help as their muscle would never make recovery from the high spikes of cortisol after a dose and their muscles therefore waste much more readily.  It’s then easier for the excess calories they eat in fat and carbs then to be stored in the fat stores.
