Hi, I know it's usually eat less and exercise, but..
I am a 63 year old male and always had great BMI and kind of fit. My normal weight usua6lly is 130 lbs. I started taking Lupron injections due to prostate cancer and my weight has gone up to 148. It all seems to be in the belly. I never looked like this! I cut carbs a bit, but no change. Any suggestions? I always was able to drop weight but not now.
Thank you!

Probably hormonal. Lupron treats prostate cancer by lowering testosterone levels. One of the effects of lower testosterone is weight gain.

I was on Lupron for two years, and during that time I put on an extra 50 pounds.

I am off Lupron now, the weight seems to want to stay.



However, I have also changed my diet, which I think might be helping.
