If you are experiencing the protease paunch, fat will accumulate around the gut while fat is lost on the arms, legs, and face. Researchers still do not know why this occurs or what you can do to stop it.
Some people never get it at all.
If you are taking Megace, an appetite stimulant, switch to Marinol. Exercise for a minimum of 3 times each week for 30 minutes each session to build muscle mass. Eat fewer fatty foods. Cut down on the number of servings of fatty foods and eat foods with less fat. Eat at least 3 meals a day.
