Asthma Medications and weight loss?

I was on athsma medications for about 10 years and have been of of them for about four years now to try more natural methods of athsma control. They HAve been working great but i find i can lose more than five punds at any given time, and its not like this is new , i’ve always been an active person. My doctor has suggested that it is because of the steroids in the asthma medications. I there anything i can do to counter-act that?

You can increase your activity level and watch what you eat-you breathing better is more important than you gaining a few pounds and not being able to fit into your favorite jeans!
If you find that it’s too difficult to manage or you’re uncomfortable with your results, your doctor may have to change your medications again.
