Hey everybody! I've got a
question...I've been on the depo provera
birth control shot for a little over 2
years now.
Before I started on the birth control I
was on the atkins diet for about 6 months
during which I lost a ton of weight and
was in a size 0!
Gradually after I got on the depro provera
birth control shot I started gaining
weight, even while I was on atkins.
Eventually I stopped atkins because I
figured the birth control might make the
diet ineffective - and I thought I was
gaining weight because of the high fat
intake of atkins.
Does anybody else have any experinces with
the atkins diet not working because of
birth control?
I've tried to find info on the internet
about birth control and atkins and
couldn't find anything too informative.
Thanks!

Depo is a common cause for weight gain, in
fact it is probably one of the worst forms
of hormonal birth controls out there!

Yeah, I should think it'd be obvious that
it is the atkin's diet doing it to you.
High carb, low meat, lots of veggies...
The diet we were all on, back as cavemen xd
who really thinks eating fat is going ot
make you skinny!? I'm even more
confounded when it actually works.
