Suggest Methods To Curb Over Eating In Patient With Giant Cell Arteritis On 50mg Prednisolone Altering Taste

I have giant cell arteritis. I'm taking 50mg prednisone daily. Now everything I try to eat has a waxy greasy taste. I can't find anything that tastes good enough to eat.. I feel as tho I'm starving so I keep eating and eating to find something that will satisfy my hunger? I will look like Jabba the Hut from star wars soon and will still be searching for something that will satisfy my taste buds?

HI. Try Honey in a glassful of lukewarm water half hour before your lunch and dinner time . And Lemon water in the same way the moment you get up from the bed in the morning. Simple and time-tested.
