Have you gained weight as a result of adrenal fatigue (low cortisol levels)? How did you lose it, or manage it?

My Dr. tells me that until I heal my adrenals, my metabolism isn't functioning. I have gained a lot of weight (15-20 lbs), mostly around the middle. I used to run marathons and am fairly active, but am told that I should not do anything aerobic right now. How can I shed this unwanted weight?
