@jeffmarc I am having some success with a low carb diet. You might consider this.
@jeffmarc In my strength training experience prior to PC and ADT (now 3 months into Orgovyx, Abiraterone, and Prednisone), I NEVER found it conducive to weight loss. In fact, just the opposite. I gained "good" weight. So I think it's wrong to expect that our weight training, however necessary, will help much (if at all) with weight control. It's just muscle-loss damage control. For weight control, I find that I burn more calories with cardio than weights over a given workout timespan, so I'd suggest walking or running in addition to the gym. And, of course, burn more calories than you take in - your recommendation on diet is right on.
@jeffmarc GLP1s work quite well with ADTs. However, they have their own side effects, and I would never recommend anyone use them that only needed to lose 10 lbs. They also make resistance exercise more important since it is easy to lose muscle on GLP1 so you need to fight against both ADT and GLP1 to keep your muscle from wasting.

@jeffmarc thankyou for the reply. I’m thinking it will be worth it to switch to orgovyx. The weight gain is an issue. I lose a few pounds and then it comes back. I don’t know how anybody can take the ADT and not put weight on. I go to the YMCA 4 times a week and it doesn’t seem to help.
