I know the subject of birth control pills has been a topic , but I really need some advice. I have done the atkins diet in the past and have lost weight. About a month ago I started again, however about 2 months ago I started taking the pill. I am not loosing any weight. Is low carb bad to do when on the pill. Does the pill mess with insulin or something? I have been sticking to it because I feal as though if I dont I will gain tons of weight. My doctor said that after the first few months side effects go away, so I am going to give it another month as well. Any advice would be much appreciated.
