Narrow road: Steroids will increase your appetite and cause fluid retention. It has to do with mostly damage control, reduce as much as possible salt intake and stay away from sweets. Hydration and physical exercise are as important. The good news is that the steroids will be for a limited amount of time and even if you are not able to lose weight during the time you take them, you should be able to after.
