Is steroid-induced weight increase healthy for a 23-year-old?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The tablets Practin (Cyproheptadine hydrochloride) and Decdan (Dexamethasone) would just add water retention in the body and not increase the muscle mass. So once you leave it, your body shall return to its low weight.

So, Practin and Decdan are not recommended for instant weight gain. Gradual weight gain is always advisable. An increase of 500 kilocalories per day can result in an increase in body weight by 1.10 lbs. per week

Eat plenty of healthy fats. Have egg yolks, meat with animal fat, coconut oil, and other healthy fats. Increase the calorie intake of healthy foods that include bananas. Chew the food properly to improve digestion. Keep a track of your weight gain, as this is essential. It is healthy to increase by approximately 11 to 13 lbs per month.

The right combination of healthy food, exercise, correct breathing, thinking, and sleep goes a long way in healthy and happy life.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
