How about vegetarian – does it help?

According to one Dutch study, vegetarian people are less likely to have weight problem than non-vegetarian people.

This is reasonable since foods high in fiber are good to control your weight. On the other hand, non-vegetarian diet is often associated with eating more fatty foods.

Fiber is slower digested in your digestive system. Eating more fiber means you will get more volume of food with fewer calories. Find in-depth information about fiber and weight control in this previous post!

Will you lose weight if you stop your birth control?

Some women report that they had weight gain due to birth control pills – is it a fact or only a myth?

Birth control pills may have an effect on your weight, but most of them are OK and safe for your weight control. Nevertheless, if your pills do have an effect – see your doctor!

If you gain weight with birth-control pills, the effect of the pills is only about 1-2 pounds (mild). So again, weight changes (either weight gain /loss) are more likely caused by how many calories you eat and burn.
