How do contraception pills make u gain weight?

1.01K views

Me and my girlfriend have gotten into quite a few arguments, shes saying the little pill makes u gain weight (like literally you swallow it and you will gain weight, over time.)
It literally can’t possibly make u gain weight. Or I don’t understand how it would, it’s not like its containing 2000 calories.
Even if you take steroids, you still gotta eat plenty to gain weight, right?
I am saying it might be slower metabolism, water retention etc, but at the root of everything its still food, right?

Hormones make some people retain water so some of the weight is due to that. They can also make you tired so less exercise and increase appetite so yes more calories.
