How to Lose Weight While on Effexor XR

Recommended Answer:

Weight change is a common side effect from birth control, and unfortunately, it can be difficult to lose weight while on birth control. The only ways to lose weight is to eat healthy and exercise. Typically weight gain due to birth control is actually water weight, so drinking things like green tea, black tea, and coffee, which are natural diuretics, can help lose water weight. So if you ever feel bloated like I sometimes do on the pill, just drink a cup of caffeinated tea or coffee and you'll probably feel better.
