Is it down to your metabolism being affected by the hormones? Or like water retention?
In: Biology
When you take hormonal birth control, your body is telling itself that it’s pregnant. What does your body want for the nonexistent baby? Fat! So you crave all kinds of fatty foods.
It’s definitely the contraceptive hormones messing up with your body’s signals.
I’m no endocrinologist but hormones are chemical signals that your body generates.
Hormonal contraceptions act on many other endocrinologic pathways, and notably augments the synthesis of fats, hence causing a weight gain
