Bye Bye Birth Control? Weight Loss?!
Question: Bye Bye Birth Control!? Weight Loss!?
I went on birth control (Tri Cyclen) back when I was in Grade 10 - which was approx!. 7 years ago!. When I first went on it, the weight seemed to pile on!. I know it's debated whether going on birth control increases weight gain, all I know is I'm talking about my personal experience!.
Anyways, after 7 years of being on the pill, I've decided to go off of it!.
I'm wondering from anyone else's experience out there, that if going off the pill results in easier weight loss (with correct diet and exercise of course), compared to staying on the pill and correcting diet and exercise!?!?
Thanks a bunch!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've known several people who stopped taking Ortho Tri-cyclen and switched to another (lower dose) of birth control, and they lost all (and more) of the weight they had gained from being on Ortho!. Generally speaking, pills that use ethinyl estradiol as the hormones can cause the most weight gain!.
It does have a lot to do with your lifestyle, but I found it hard to keep weight off when I was on Levora!. I just stopped taking it a few weeks ago, and I've already noticed a difference in my hunger and metabolism!.
If you need to continue using birth control, ask your doctor for a lower dose pill and one without a reputation for making you gain weight!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I dont know who you are talking to, but it is no secret that birth control pills (non low dose) increase weight!. The reason is simple!.!.!. Increased Estrogen (Estradiol) levels!.!.!. Meaning, if you ever question if estrogen will make you eat more, just look at a pregnant woman!.!.!. The increased Estrogen levels sends their appetites thru the roof!.!.!. It also enhanced glucose utilization too, by the way, which simply means that your body is more efficient at processing that food!.
As far as loosing weight once you get off of it!.!. Allot of that depends on your age!. From what you put, I would guess you are in your mid-20's, so I suspect the weight loss will not be that noticeable in your case!.!.!.
Finally, diet and exercise is realistically going to be your only real solution to sustained weight loose!.!.!. Whether you are on or off the pill probably will have little effect at this point!.!.!.
Good Luck and I Hope this helps!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
