Weight gain: It is important to reduce carbohydrates, portion size, and to exercise to control weight gain. There is some water retention which can add to one;s weight as a side effect from oral bcp. This is probably not what is causing difficulty in losing your weight. Make sure you are not eating extra carbs b/c you are hungry after your gym sessions. Keep your portions small, and add extra protein.
