Hello! as to why some women gain weight when they go on hormonal birth control?
I’m a big fitness person and believe that calories in v calories out is what makes you put on weight. If someone is still working out and their diet hasn’t changed but they began hormonal birth control, why are they putting on weight? How does this happen?
I’m genuinely curious and would love some insight. Thank you.

Medications don’t cause you to gain weight(body fat). They can cause you to retain more water which can seem like weight gain. They can also cause lethargy which can lower your caloric expendature. In the second case you’re eating the same or more calories, but moving less.
