Have you gained weight since going onto birth control pills? - Do you want to know how to lose it?

The weight gain is because the hormone content is causing you to be sensitive to salt. - When you are sensitive to salt, you need to cut down on your intake of salt and salty food, e.g. ready meals and takeaways, because excess salt is being held in your body (sodium retention) and it is holding extra water in your body (fluid retention). - When you cut down on salt you will lose some of this excess salt and water by excreting it in the urine and so you will lose weight- safely, naturally, easily, without hunger or dieting. - Dieting is unnecessary, usually ineffective, and always harmful.

It is commonly accepted now, except by the 'experts', that less than 5% of dieters actually lose weight, and most gain weight as a result of dieting. - Even the ones who manage to lose weight do not usually improve their health. - See http://www.guardian.co.uk/medicine/story/0,11381,1515455,00.html for a report in The Guardian of Monday, June 27th 2005. It is about a huge research study of nearly 3000 people over a period of 18 years. The study found that overweight people who diet to reach a healthier weight are more likely to die young than those who remain fat. It also found that dieting causes physiological damage that in the long term can outweigh the benefits of the weight loss.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
