A member asked:
Are there any birth control pills that help with weight loss? i gained a lot of weight on depo-provera and would really like to be back at a healthy weight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The best pill to be: On where you will not gain weight and it will not inhibit you from losing weight is loloestrin - only 10 mcg of estrogen, no bcpill will make u lose weight, if you want wt loss u need caloric restriction, i offer my pts the HCG injections and 500 calorie diet, i did it mtself 14 months ago , i lost 24 lbs in 28 days- it works and it is safe , it is not fda approved though, insurance won't pay.
