Does the birth control pill cause the metabolism to slow down and make it hard to lose weight?

There is no conclusive study that oral birth control pills cause weight gain. Today's doses of hormones in the commonly used oral contraceptives is very low, so examine your diet for causes of weight gain (carbohydrates, etc.).
