There are no "weight free" birth control pills. All brands have the potential to cause weight gain.

I understand your problem though. I too find myself eating, even when I'm not hungry. A few things that have seemed to help are eating healthy foods when I do feel the urge to eat-- foods such as vegetables and fruit. Also, drink A LOT of water during these urges seems to help, too.

If you must snack, only allow yourself a small portion. Buy only small packages, and hide larger packages.


You could always try another pill, too, but like I said, that weight potential is always there. But, different pills do affect women differently.
