A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight loss ?: Implanon is a progestin insert, but will generally not have a major effect on body weight. Weight loss, if desired, is best accomplished by increased exercise (even 30-45 minutes of brisk walking per day), lowering "pleasure foods" (potatoes, corn, rice, etc. as well as deserts, sweets) and concentrating on protein as a main portion of your diet ("modified Atkins type" diet).
