Can birth control be the reason I’m not losing weight?

Question

I started taking Junel Fe 1.5/30 (the birth control pill) in august 2019. I take it perfectly. I’ve always been overweight, but since I started taking it I’ve gained a few pounds, nothing too crazy. When I started the pill I was 227 pounds. I am currently on a weight loss journey (I started the journey on February 18th of this year) and I am 215 pounds, so I’ve lost about 12 pounds, BUT, my measurements are the EXACT same and I am seeing NO results!!! I workout EVERY day and I only eat around 1600 calories a day which is the complete opposite of what I used to do. I used to eat 3000-3800 calories a day and laid in bed all day. Why am I not seeing results? Could the hormones in my BC be the problem? I can’t get off of the pill because my periods are so heavy it caused me to be anemic so I have to stay on the pill. I feel like I will NEVER lose this weight! I just want to be happy! But I’m not going to give up!

Answer

Very much possible but first change your food style not like a diet but portion and healthy food not junk and work out and drink enough water will help to

Answer

It’s unlikely that it’s the birth control. The only method known to directly affect ur weight (cause direct weight gain from the hormones themselves) is the depo shot. U may just need to lower the amount of calories ur eating.
