Does birth control make you gain weight?
Birth control does make you gain weight or at least look a bit bigger but it's not like 2 pants sizes or anything major like that and after a while your body will just go back to normal so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Does birth control make you gain weight?
Birth control does not make you gain weight. What it does do is increase your appetite. It's up to you what you put in your mouth. If you eat a pretty healthy diet you shouldn't see and increase.

How does birth control make you lose weight?
I would continue a plant based or just a clean eating style. Just like the medicine prednisone it bloats you real bad, but the thing about prednisone is that it makes you eat more than normal but it doesn't mean that you have to eat unhealthy foods. You can easily stock up on fruits and vegetables things like that to satisfy your hunger that prednisone brings on the same with birth control.
Which birth control makes you gain weight?
None. Non hormonal birth control such as condoms or the IUD will not cause any weight variation. Hormonal birth control may cause some water retention that will look like you have gained weight (usually some 2–5 kg, or 4–10 pounds), but this weight gain is illusory because as soon as you stop taking the pill the water retention will go away and you will drop this extra weight. Newer types of pills (such as tose based on drospirenone) have a diuretic effect that will prevent this water buildup in your tissues, but beware that these pills are also more likely to cause you the major side effects of hormonal birth control such as depression or lack of sexual desire (whish are still among the side effects you may suffer with any other hormonal birth control).

Do birth control pills make you gain weight?
I have been wanting to get on them for a while because I think it can't hurt and I've heard it makes your skin really nice. But I've also heard it makes you gain weight and messes with your breast size. I am pretty happy with how I am at the moment and I really would not want it to mess with my body. If it just creates cravings or increased appetite, then I can handle that and avoid it, but if it causes uncontrollable weight gain, I'm not sure if it's worth it. Can anyone with experience on the pill tell me if you had this problem?
Are there any birth control pills that don't make you gain weight?
It’s a possible but not guaranteed side effect of birth control because it is altering your hormones. Non-hormonal methods such as the copper IUD wouldn’t carry that risk, but it has its own drawbacks including expense, painful insertion, and the need for a specialist to insert it. You can control any potential weight gain from birth control with diet and exercise.
