Direct: or indirect. Drugs for immune diseases/chemotherapy directly affect energy burning, but just as important they change desire to get up and move. Energy use plummets. So does appetite, but it can be more the energy use. So, if losing weight you have to do ... something... barbells or other exercise both to maintain some energy use and to prevent muscle loss.
