My wife has long wondered why she has a strong body shape that makes it more difficult than you would expect to loose weight. She has always said that she had extremely bad asthma for years as a child and took alot of medecine for it. I recently learned that asthma treatments use steroids. Now, it seems obvious to me that it is related.

I wonder if exercise/health gurus know of ways to specifically address this. I can not find anything online about it though. Can anyone help? Thanks!!!!!!!
