Weight gain from fat

As well as increased water retention, weight gain can be caused by increased body fat. Unlike fluid retention, this tends to be the result of overeating.

Putting on weight due to overeating will increase your body fat. The pill cannot harm or help you with this problem. The best way to keep your weight at a healthy level - whether you're on the pill or not - is to take regular exercise and make sure you eat a healthy, balanced diet every day.
