Answers:
Simple. the healthiest way to lose weight is ONLY EAT WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY. sounds simple but it works, we get too caught up in routine in our country. just have a little snack (dont indulge) when you get hungry, when you are NOT hungry, dont eat. this along with excercise, will lose your weight for you. oh and lastly, eat whatever you want in moderation, no cant have this or that, reason is that your body metabolizes what it knows, if you eat what you like your body will respond, but if you go on a salad diet, the second you have that chocolate. POOF it kills all your hard work eating salad. Your horemones and body will tell you what and when to eat.

Go to your doctor and get on another pill or a different dose. It's not supposed to make you gain weight.

Also, just exercise more and eat fewer calories (don't starve yourself, just eat smaller portions and don't eat fattening snacks) and you'll lose a few pounds before summer.

You are gaining weight from overeating and not exercising enough. Birth control pills have nothing to do with it.

No skipping meals. Drink plenty of water. Cut out junk food. Eat lean protein, whole grains, fruits & veggies, and a little fat. Always eat at least 1200 calories a day. Aim for 1400 - 1600 daily. Exercise moderately for 1 hour every day.

Just exercise and eat healthy. The birth control probably contributed some weight, but at 15 your metabolism starts naturally slowing down, so weight gain may be due to that too. My wife put on 5-10 when she started the pill, and she just did exercise and eating healthy to lose that weight and more.
Don't buy into fad diets, they are fads for a reason.

i had the same problem with those birth control pills girl the best thing for you to do is STOP using them they are bad. use something else for protection.

Why, at 15 are you on birth control? you're only 15, I'd say ditch the birth control, you shouldn't be having sex so there's no reason to be on it and even if you are having sex, using a condom is better.

If you're gaining weight, just stop taking it. They're a BUNCH of other alternatives. Since it's the pill, there's other brands you can take that might work for you. Go to your doctor and explain that you don't want to gain any more weight from taking the pill.

The "just eat veggies and fruits for one week" doesn't work, neither does skipping meals. Just do what I told you above.

You should stick to a healthy balanced diet and do exercise. You are still growing so going on any of the fashionable fad diets could easily do you more harm than good.

you might need to contact your dr. depends on what b.c. your on. i know the depo shot will make you gain wieght and make your blood pressure go up. there are pills that don't have that affect. other than that it's just the extra hormones in your body.. there's nothing you can really do. be glad it's the b/c and a baby ..

eat jawar roti daily in the evening

Cut out all carbs for a few weeks. No bread, potatoes, corn, rice, cereal, pasta, fruit, tomatoes, beans (except green beans) and peas. Lots of meat and green vegs
