I Already Know That Taking Other Drugs While On Birthcontrol Lowers The Affectiveness Of It. & I'm Starting On A SLIM-FAST Diet & I'm NOT Sure What Kinds Of Stuff It Has In It. Like If It Has A Certain Kind Of Weight Loss Drug In It Or Wat. & I Don't Want To Get Pregnant...

Slim fast will not affect your birth control. But a drastic weight loss could affect your hormones. Just make sure and consult your doctor. But we wary of slimfast. It's not bad for you, but it helps you lose weight be cutting your calorie count. You body gets its' nutrients and goes into starvation mode. You will lose weight, but as soon as you eat normally again, you will gain it back, if not more. I would recommend using one a day (breakfast) then eating healthier lunches and dinners. More fresh fruits and vegetables and leaner meats. Whole grain carbs (breads, pastas) and less sugar. Add exercise and you can really lose weight. And it will last.
Losing weight is about lifestyle changes, not deprivation.

I don't know of any drugs on the slim-fast diet. Just shakes, bars, whatever their meal plan is. That won't affect your birth control.

It has no effect on it whatsoever.
There is nothing in Slim Fast that would effect the pill.
Use something more effective than slim fast. It doesn't work. Fasting is temporary loss anyway.
