Question: Does estrogen really cause weight gain!?
So could being on the pill cause you to gain weight because estrogen absorbs the fat from your food into your body!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
weight gain is caused by caloric surplus!. you can't gain weight from "nothing"!.!.!. you have to eat more than your body burns off to gain anything!.
BUT!! estrogen would make it hard(er) to lose fat!. this is primarily why women find it EXTREMELY difficult to go under 12-15% fat, while men can go below 10% fat quite easily!.
Estrogen also contributes to stubborn fat deposits!. this is also why women primarily store fat in the breasts, hips and thigh regions!.

but no, it does not make it more difficult to lose "weight" or easier to gain weight!. it only makes it harder to lose more fat than muscle and gain more muscle than fat!.

hope that helpsWww@Answer-Health@Com

It does not!. Male and female hormones to some degree control WHERE you gain the weight!. Women on hips and thighs, men on the stomach!. Testosterone can cause you to lose fat, and build muscle, as many female bodybuilders have discovered!. However, estrogen does not make you fat!. You will retain a few pounds of water during your period though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Women naturally have more body fat than men, it's biologically necessary to carry children!. If you have estrogen, you will probably have more subcutaneous fat, but the pill won't make you gain much weight if any!.

Watch out for blood clots though! (I have to say that to everyone who's on the pill!.) I never in a million years thought I was at risk until I got one!.!.!.due to genetics and the pill!. Don't smoke while you're on the pill, either, since it increases the chance!. You don't want to be a thrombophiliac like me :PWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm an identical twin - at 18 I started the pill (Brevenor) and my sister didn't!. I gained a stone over 6 months and as our lifestyle was the same the only thing it could be down to is the pill!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it doesnt!.!.!.!.!.but quite a lot of women gain weight whilst on the pill!. This is likely to be due to oestrogen increasing the woman's appetite, so she eats more, therefore gaining weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it doesn't!. What causes weight gain is the your diet!. Some pills causes causes people to eat more than they should which leads to weight gain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
