I have been on Pred for sixteen months, started at 15 and now down to 5/6 thanks to Eileen's method of reducing. I put on weight especially over Xmas and felt miserable. I then bought a Nutribullit and now make shakes and smoothies. I have given up sweets, cakes, bread and biscuits and now eat more apples. I try and go to Zumba twice a week and aim to have a long walk at least once a week. Whether I shall be able to reduce Pred to 0 is debatable but I have started to feel more positive. This has all helped me and I hope will help others.

    Hello Grace...as per Eileen I am taking 5 one day, 6 for the next six days, 5 then 6 for five days, 5 then 6 for four days, 5 then 6 for three days and so on until I reach just 5.

    then I shall probably stay on that for two months at least. Just have to see how I feel.

    hope this makes sense.

    All the best,

    Tricia.

    Hi Tricia

    We started including Nutribullet smoothies in our meals and also got a juicer. With us it isn't that we get 100% of our fruits and veges with those beverages, but we think it's a good thing to do several times during the week. With the juicer I make a green drink and get a concentrated drink of kale, cucumber, celery, etc that I couldn't eat during the one day.  I have PMR plus food sensitivities (to histamines and dairy) so I'm all about trying various food techniques to maximize my nutrition.  And aren't smoothies yummy!

      Mrs CJ, I would agree with you.  I have a Nutribullet as well and the different smoothies are great for my granddaughter and myself.  The idea of maken a "green" smoothie with kale, cucumber, celery is very good because one gets a concentration of all the fresh greens in one cup which is beneficial.  I also have allergies, and I need to take an antihistamine daily, and I take it at night.

    Hi Mrs CJ yes I still have veg with meals and fruit but find the smoothies are great as well. Amazing the different combinations too!
