Does birth control prevent weight loss?

Question

I've been trying to lose weight for a while now, but it's been really slow. I started taking birth control pills a few months ago. Could this be affecting my weight loss efforts?

Look, the pill doesn't lock your weight and stop you from losing it. It might make you hold a little water weight, but if you eat clean and exercise regularly, you will still lose fat. Don't blame the pill for everything.

I thought my birth control was stopping me from losing weight, but when I got my thyroid panel checked, my TSH was actually very high. Once I sorted out my thyroid medicine with my doctor, the weight started moving down easily.

We asked the chief gynecologist at Apollo Hospital about this issue. She assured us that modern low-dose pills do not prevent weight loss if you maintain a calorie deficit. Ask your doctor clearly if you feel your specific pill is causing issues.

Actually, I managed to lose 5 kgs while I was on the pill! It just took a little more consistency with my home meals and daily steps. Don't lose hope, it is definitely possible to lose weight.

Starting mein thoda bloating hota hai, haan na. But after some months, body adjust ho jati hai and weight easily kam ho sakta hai. Just keep drinking water and don't take stress.
