Can I lose weight while on the Depo Shot?

Question

Someone told me that even while you exercise and diet on the depo shot or the pill you won't lose weight. Is this true?

Answer 1

Incorrect. I used Depo for over 5 years and never gained any weight.

Some women DO however experience food cravings and if they give in to those cravings, they CAN gain weight.

Just remember that every method of birth control contains zero calories...its what you put into your mouth (or body) BESIDES the contraceptive that causes weight gain.

Answer 2

Depo-Provera can cause a number of side effects, including:

Irregular menstrual periods, or no periods at all
Headaches
Nervousness
Depression
Dizziness
Acne
Changes in appetite
Weight gain
Excessive growth of facial and body hair
Hair loss
Loss of bone mineral density

Talk to your doctor to determine if Depo-Provera is right for you.

Answer 3

A majority of women GAIN weight on the depo shot.

Also I had mood swings, loss of libido, and spotting at odd times. After five years you need to get your bone density checked since depo screws with your bone health.

I was on it for four years and so glad I am off it.

Answer 4

By dieting and working out, I lost 50 pounds while I was on Depo. Some people have different reactions or side effects, but not everyone has them, and if you're eating right and exercising, you should still lose weight.

Answer 5

Everyone reacts a little differently to medications. I personally gained 30 pounds on Depo, and was not able to lose it until after I came off it. But some people do not have this problem. You just have to try it and see how it effects you.

Answer 6

Answer 7

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.

1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.

2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.

3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.

These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.
