So I was on cerelle/cerazette for about 6 years. I was more or less the same weight through this time, but if I gained weight I could lose it quite easily.
Fastforward to december, I came off my pill to see if it would help with my depression (it did, some). But I gained nearly 2 stone. I'd not changed my eating habits or exercise routine. I've since really upped my exercise and cut down on the crap and even taking glucomannan with every meal, and over the last few months I didn't lose weight, I gained a few extra lbs. I'm at a complete loss.
I've also had hair growth on my chin so I started taking vitex and spearmint capsules which has helped that massively, and even my acne cleared up, but nothing positive with my weight (except boob growth!).
Can anyone suggest what else I can do? I thought vitex was good to balance hormones so I don't know what else to do. I thought maybe maca but I've heard good and bad things in regards to weight gain with this.
