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.

More than likely it affects appetite. Just like appetite often increases in pregnancy or people get cravings for sweets during their period, any hormonal change can affect appetite. Unless they are meticulously weighing their food, Someone may think that that their diet hasn’t changed at all, but they’re actually taking a bigger portion at dinner or eating a little more chocolate than before, and it adds up.
