I've read several threads about spotting and other menstrual problems after starting low carbing, and I've experienced some difficulty with that myself.

However, today when I was re-reading DANDR, I noticed that he said HRT and birth control pills can prevent you from losing weight. However, Dr. Atkins only provided more details on the HRT aspect.

Can my birth control pills be holding me back? If there is a thread on this already, I couldn't locate it on my own.

Any insights on the pill and weight loss (or lack thereof)?

Thanks!
