A member asked:

Is it more difficult to lose weigh on birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: The main factors in losing weight are calories in and excercise (calories out). You can lose weight on the"pill" if thepill results in increased appetite, it could be afactor, but that is uncommon.
