The pill causes your body to think it is already pregnant through hormonal signals and this can cause some initial weight gain, as pregnancy will cause the body to store fat more efficiently to be able to support a second growing life. However, a few pounds you may gain can be managed and lost with a little extra exercise and better diet. The alternative to being on birth-control might be really getting pregnant, and that will put on tons more weight than being on the pill would have, not to mention the unwanted pregnancy and decisions you would have to face from that point. I have not know of any to make you lose weight, but birth control and the use of medication is serious stuff that puts chemicals in your body and should not be done for weight control. Your doctor will advise you better when you talk to her or him about your specific needs and concerns. Make an appointment with your doctor or see one at your local clinic for more information and the right plan for you.
