Does the Pill itself make you gain weight, or does it just make you want to eat more?

When some BC pills have weight gain as a side effect, is it the pill itself that makes you gain weight? Or does it just make you crave bad food or not want to exercise?

    I would somewhat disagree with super deformed girl.. They don't make her crave food.. My wife did...

    There is a little of both.. the pill definitely messes with metabolism, in some more than others and depends upon where in the pill cycle you are,.. So you can crave food and it can slow down the metabolism (or speed it up) so it is a matrix.. if you get crave and slow, here come the pounds baby.. if you get one of the other combinations, it won't be as noticeable. Remember there a re a gazillion pill formulas so if one doesn't agree with you try another one.. My wife went through about 5...

    It doesn't make you crave food.

    The pills introduce extra hormones into your system and everyone's body reacts differently. Sometimes this means it may mess with your metabolisim a little bit.

    the Pill fools your body into thinking its pregnant. You gain a certain amount of extra weight over time because your body is trying to store food up for the baby it thinks its having.

    I think with most of them it's because the hormones in them make you store more of your food as fat. They're the same female hormones that make women store their fat for breasts etc.
