I’m not over weight but I do have stubborn belly fat from I think pcos , I can never lose the stomach weight! I think the doctor said it can help me lose weight being on the pill, is that true? Any experiences? Thanks! 😊

Answer

Hi! 
If the reason your weight is off is due to PCOS then, the pill will definitely help with that. I lost between 10-25 pounds while I was on the pill. Before that due to how bad my PCOS was I would lose/gain weight in unhealthy bouts not to mentioned the weird hormonal belly that made me looked pregnant 20/7. 
If your weight is not due to PCOS, then it might not help. Or it could make it worse. 
Please keep in mind that there is not a magic way to lose weight. Even if the pill helps control the root problem, you might still want to consider a good diet and exercise!
