How do contraception pills make u gain weight?

1.02K 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?

Yeah it’s not the pill itself, but what it does to your hormones and metabolism. It’s not like you could put a pill in a salad and all of a sudden it’s heavier by more than the pills weight.
