My grandma has had lupus for years and she has gained wieght in her mid-section. You probably won’t be able to get rid of that. She eats normal stuff, and is in rather good health, all things considered.
Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine has some good info on eating a healthy diet. You should also look at Dr Mike Loes book THE ASPIRIN ALTERNATIVE which may help you get off prednisone. Prescription For Natural Cures also has some interesting suggestions for Lupus patients, as does the book The Miracle of MSM by Dr Jacob and Dr Lawrence. A little study of these excellent books will not be a waste of your time.
MonaVie has helped improve the quality of life for some Lupus patients
(Info on request) Good luck!
because it is an auto immune disease, you should eat alot of vitamin c
