Researchers have taken the time to examine the effects of severe weight loss on active female fitness competitors. They specifically address changes in body composition and hormone function over a three to four-month dieting down period. Research suggests that dieting during competitive bodybuilding has some positives as well as some negatives.
The best natural weight-loss supplements and weight-loss shakes can help you get the most out of training and see enough results during a program to keep you coming back for more. To learn more about fat burners and weight-loss supplements, check out the article ” The Complete Guide to Fat Burners.”.A common side effect of rapid weight loss is the development of gallstones hard deposits of cholesterol that form in the gallbladder. They can be harmless, but many people experience nausea and serious abdominal pain from gallstones, to the extent that the gallbladder may need to be removed.Very rarely, statins can cause life-threatening muscle damage called rhabdomyolysis (rab-doe-my-OL-ih-sis).
Rhabdomyolysis can cause severe muscle pain, liver damage, kidney failure and death. The risk of very serious side effects is extremely low, and calculated in a few cases per million people taking statins.Weight Loss A decrease in testosterone levels in women can lead to a loss of muscle mass.
Muscle mass burns more calories than fat and keeps the metabolism working well, so a decrease in muscle tissue could lead to additional weight gain. Increasing testosterone levels and lowering estrogen levels can therefore help to reverse this loss of muscle.Green tea extracts have been marketed as effective weight-loss supplements, and for the prevention and cure of solid tumours. Although there is little scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of green tea extracts, serious side effects, including acute liver failure, are increasingly being reported (13,14).
Unexplained weight loss has many causes, medical and nonmedical. Often, a combination of things results in a general decline in your health and a related weight loss. Sometimes a specific cause isn’t found. Usually, an unrecognized cancer will have other symptoms or abnormalities of laboratory tests, in addition to unexplained weight loss.
As a result, excess weight accumulates in the abdomen, rather than the hips and thighs. Combined with the emotional effects of hormonal changes, this can lead to poor dietary and activity choices.Sarcopenia is the gradual loss of muscle mass that can affect people in their 30s and beyond. WebMD explains its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatments.
Losing muscle mass is a normal condition when getting older, however abnormal muscle loss can be caused by malnutrition, an eating disorder, or an autoimmune disease like HIV/AIDs. Muscle deterioration can also be a sign of a serious chronic disease or mental health issue. Read below for more information on causes and how to seek treatment.The health and quality-of-life implications of overweight and obesity span all ages in the United States.
We investigated the association between dietary protein intake and loss of lean mass during weight loss in postmenopausal women through a retrospective analysis of a 20-week randomized, controlled diet and exercise intervention in women aged 50 to 70 years.In this randomized clinical trial, severe energy restriction with a total meal replacement diet in postmenopausal women with obesity induced greater weight loss and approximately 1.5-fold as much loss of whole-body lean mass and thigh muscle area compared with moderate energy restriction over 12.Clenbuterol for Women. Many women use Clen as a weight loss supplement – even if they are not bodybuilders.. It is probably the strongest fat burner that you can get anywhere and is ideal for female cutting cycles.
Clenbuterol is known to be a good thermogenic but it is integral to follow all safety recommendations.. It is suggested that you begin using just 20 mcg per day.COVID-19 can cause lots of side effects and complications, like trouble breathing and extreme fatigue, but unintended weight loss can happen, too, says Amesh A.While intentional weight loss in people with diabetes is usually a good thing, unintentional weight loss is not.
If blood sugars are very high, patients with diabetes tend to urinate a lot, and this results in dehydration as a possible cause of weight loss. Also, muscle breakdown can occur if sugars are too high, causing an unhealthy weight loss.

Welcome to Episode 4 of the Women’s Series! I cover the effects of birth control in regards to your physique i.e. weight gain, weight loss and building muscle! I’d love to hear about your experiences with birth control as it is such a controversial topic! Did it mess you up? Help you? I want to know!!! #nosey
I’ve listed my references in the description box if your interested in reading more! I hope you enjoy andI love you so much!��❤
Hello stephanie
Thank u
Am glad to follow u
U are the best.,❤️❤️❤️❤️��������
I gained 30 pounds on the shot but when I switched the pill I only gained 5 but now I’m eating healthy and working out and now I’m losing weight fast. Lost about 25 pounds.
Omg, I started to love her since I knew she’s a doctor. I mean, this is the kind of info we all need❤️ Thank you Dr Buttermore❤️
Losing weight should be about looking our best and be healthier not about a stupid boyfriend ��
Hello there, I want to know if Clegenatur Methods, will really work for me? I notice many people keep on speaking about this popular breast enhancement methods.
Thank you so much! Love this video and you’re so sweet. ��
I just feel like I really need to tell you something. You are absolutely loved beyond any human capacity. Jesus Christ loves YOU and wants to know you. I care about your eternity and He wants you to repent. A lot of people have been deceived by the devil to think that sin is no longer serious and that all we need is to believe in God but even the demons believe in Jesus but yet they’re not saved… It is written that a friend of the world is an enemy of God. ” Let God be true and every man a liar”, most preachers are not preaching the truth that sin leads to eternal torment in a very real place called hell. There are too many people deceived into thinking that once you’ve said a prayer, you’re saved even if you continue living the same sinful life. God hates sin and it’s never stopped being serious. Sin leads to hell and I’d never want you to be deceived thinking that your good works of being a ‘good person’ will save you. We need Jesus, without Him, our good works are as Filthy rags according to the Bible.
Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart and is waiting on you to open to Him and believe that He is the only begotten Son of God. God is not willing that any should perish but all come to repentance. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Him. May God bless you and may you seek Him and truly repent and sin no more to become true children of God. Have a beautiful day ☺️
SO SO SO thankful for this video. I had no idea the copper IUD existed and it’s exactly what I was searching for.
I’m very skinny and I’m actually looking forward to birth control because I’m considered underweight
I’m using the patch now and it’s been good but a lot of nausea
I’ve been binge watching your videos lately because you’re super informative and I absolutely love that. I came across this video and it definitely helped me a ton! I had the Nexplanon for about 2 years and decided to remove it last year because of personal reasons but I was able to lose weight and maintain. When I removed it, I switched to the depo shot and since then I’ve gained weight and it’s been really hard to get back down to where I was despite my efforts. Hearing how it’s notorious for weight gain and how hard it is to lose weight with it has definitely reassured me that it’s probably this birth control that’s been the problem and I shouldn’t be bringing myself down because of it. All I want to say is thank you!! I’ll definitely be considering a different form of birth control!!!
is it possible for a woman in her 60s to have a toned muscular body?
Birth control for didnt change my weight, and if it did, it made me lose weight. But my weight loss May have been because of me starting to train again after a 2 year break. Though, my boobs did go from a 32AAA to 32A which im not that happy about, but the pill saved my life. My period truly ruined my life because of the Extreme flow and Extreme pain and now my period is still heavy but since i Can skip it, i only stop with the pill every 3 months and i have little to no pain now.
I wish I found you soon before I took the shot. I GAINED SO MUCH WEIGHT!
My calves as HUGE. I do the elliptical everyday and now and then I skip rope.
I started it in late October and when I stepped on the scale three months later I was up 20+ lbs!! (I have always been thin and didn’t think the timing was coincidental). Though it cleared my skin I couldn’t fit in any of my pants anymore and felt super insecure, I stopped using it a month and a half ago but haven’t seen any differences even though my diet is the same:( I just hope it starts going back to normal
I am a gymnast and I have muscles on my arms and I can’t wear a lot of tshirts because my arms are too big. PLEASEEE HELP������
Darling girl with a beautiful heart. Thanks for sharing your struggle.
I’ve never learned so much about birth control, even from my gynecologist.
I grew inch tall and it helped me gain weight like crazy the depo shot
I lost 20lbs on Depo Provera…and it wasn’t easy. The thing that my doctor told me is that because of hormones you’ll get hungrier, but not a fast enough increase for you to outright notice it. That’s why women actually gain weight over a prolonged period of time. That really helped me when I started the shot because I really focused in on what I was eating and how much. It wasn’t easy by any means, but simple knowledge like that helped me out a ton.
Personally, im 16 and was having issues with heavy abdominal cramping and heavy bleeding during my periods so I decided to get contraception to help knowing that these are sometimes prescribed for these kinds of issues.
I originally wanted to get an IUD but was advised that since I’m not active and was still very young that it wouldn’t be worth the side effects, I didn’t want to go on the pill because I would always hear about the acne (more or less of it), weight gain or loss (depending on the person) and figured that i wouldn’t remember to take it every day so it was pointless. Instead I first went on the patch and found that it wasn’t useful because my periods would be the exact same but would just start on my patch free weeks, then went on the depo injection and was told it would have no side effects aside from having no periods which I was fine with.
After being 5 weeks overdue for my follow up I still had no period which I was still fine with but was advised to go in the implant instead because the injection could overtime decrease my bone density, it lasts longer and would not have to go through the trouble of remembering to take something every day and was yet again told there would be no side effects.
The day I come in for the fitting I was asked if I was aware that it could potentially double my weight and have some really nasty side effects, I said no, the nurse handed me a pamphlet with the side effects that range anywhere from acne to nausea and dizziness, I explained the entire story to the nurse and at the appointment I jumped on the scale and saw that I gained 10kg/22 pounds and was so unhappy it was bad enough that since I was born my weight has always been a struggle but this was on a whole other level and do not feel great about myself, my appearance and this whole process. I went from 80/81kg to 90kg in 3-4 months.
What would happen when an male uses it?
And what cause erection dysfunction creat in men?
Plzzz any one
Or someone would tell me that what medicines who kill my penis erection for some days?
Anyone plzzz
Just trying to figure out how is it possible to eat 3 burgers and all those fries like damn I’m thick but I can only eat half a whopper and I don’t ever eat the fries cuz I’m full
You’re an awesome fitness/health coach, plus a personable doctor. I was on an oral BC for 15 years and after losing 40 lbs in 5 months, my blood works showed no traces <30-0(whatever the unit is) of estrogen. I was prescribed a higher dose to regulate my hormone. I gained 18lbs in 3 months and after a year of exercise, healthy eating, etc. I have not lost much weight. Should I go on a lower dose BC?
Everyone told me I’d gain a lot of weight when I started taking the pill to control my menstruation…Went from a size xxxs-xxs to a size xxs. Don’t mind it honestly as everything was too big for me.
I thought you were guys are master race? german taking help from Turkish you are going to get outcast lol
I have acne and a problem gaining weight so im looking into birth control
Could you use birth control to gain weight if ur struggling too?
I would also benefit from soothing my cramps and as a contraception but I would like to gain weight and I see people talking about how birth control made them gain weight and I want that so will it work?
ughhh i have such huge soccer thighs and i hate it cause my legs chafe when i run. i used to think it was just fat and i just needed to loose the fat and then i did and my thighs are STILL huge ������♀️
I’m going to use that exact same list. I know i’m going to be ashamed at first, but i don’t care what my girl thinks of me, if it helps me shed pounds, i’m putting on my own damn bra.
Great and very informative video, as a fellow scientist I appreciate research backed up information. thank you.
I take birth control and I was wondering how to offset or counter the effects of decrease In testosterone…
After I finish this pack I am on, I am quitting the pill in January!! I used to be 125 and I am close to 140 now! I want my old appetite back where I didn’t feel hungry all the time.
Everybody’s dream is to become skinny and go to California. LOL
All of that pain could have been avoided if the parents had taken control and set a good example from the beginning. I was one of those fat pudgy babies that some of you think is so cute! I find nothing cute about it. I’ve struggle with my weight all my life. My relationship with food is far more healthy as I’ve got older but losing weight is almost impossible. It takes me years to do what other manage so quickly. When I had my own children I vowed I’d never let them become fat. As a family we enjoy eating together and we love to talk about food but all the time they were growing up we had good square meals with no snacking in between unless you were really hungry then you ate a piece of fruit. As adults they maintain a healthy weight. Parents are the key to the good habits about eating. My heart goes out to this lady. What an inspiration she is but what a lot of un necessary pain and anguish she went through.
That is why we are developing VasDeBlock, non-hormonal contraception for men. https://www.facebook.com/VasDeBlock/videos/547952299302663/
Wow, this is one of the most touching videos I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for telling us your marvelous story. I’m so inspired by you. From Chile

Holysh*t, you know she’s jacked, right? Can you feature any female natty?
I lose it when she put the rice chicken and cabbage in the blender ��
If we take a birth control that decreases our muscle gain, can we supplement with protien, LCaritine etc to help balance that side affect?
You should post a cardio workout on what you was doing while in this progress
Loved this video! but What about the patch? What are the likely effects ect?
i mean my hormones were already wack but since i started the pill my hormones got even more out of wack.. i’ve only been on the pill for a week and during this whole time i’ve been pmsing and i’ve had so many cravings that made me go crazy so before i become one of those who gain 50 lbs imma stop
Being completely isolated no friends or family. Just having my husband and 3 children makes weight loss challenging I have reached an all time high in my weight and I am struggling so hard this gives me hope ty
Most of the Oral contraceptive pills increase the risk of hemorrhagic strokes in young females
I absolutely loved this video.. I have been on the depo shot for about 5 years now.. on and off, at first I didt really mind a lil weight gain until a year ago when I had my daughter, this past year I’ve noticed a weight gain of about 11 lbs and it has really been bothering me, I started working out more but it’s hard to lose weight.. so I think I might change to the mini pill.. thanks for this info ����
Is it possible to have birth control that helps acne, cramps, and not make someone gain weight, with the mini pill where the body has its period every three months?
Or does it really rely on the chemicals of each person. I expect it does to a degree, however I hope to get some dead back please.
I’m on birth control now to fix my period, because I ruined it with my anorexia, and since I started I look pregnant everyday. ��
what birth control would u recomend if i want to gain weight?
I want to know about your diet. What makes the difference for you in your diet
This made me cry �� I so happy for you where you are now. I dont even know you but I feel proud of you for what you have achieved. I’m stuck in a rut myself and have 2 children I wish to haul my lifestyle too �� you have inspired me xxxx
Keep it simple like I did. I lost 18 kg with diet plan from website NextLevelDiet.
I am trying to get more fit now!
Just wanted to share with you guys☺
Leave some comments so I can update
I’ve always taken pills, the doctor gave me low dosage around 2013 and I gained weight breast etc so I stopped taking it. I’ve started birth control again in feb 2019 and my body exploded from 120lbs to almost 150lbs. What’s weird is I’m a vegetarian and eat more like a vegan, so I’m not sure what’s causing it. I hate that my boobs, butt, legs, and tummy has exploded on me. I’m taking this because I have PCOS AND FIBROID and experience really painful periods. Today I’ve decided I’ve had enough I’ll deal with the period pain because I can’t with this weight gain and irregular period.
Interesting about iud bc I read the copper one can have effects like hormonal bc. Or even copper poisoning.
I have been on a combination pill for a little over two years now. I have gained somewhere between 30-40 lbs since then. At first I thought it was because I wasn’t active anymore and eating out, but I’ve been eating healthier and working out for 1 1/2 years now and have seen almost no change. My boyfriend swears that I’m losing weight but I’m really not dropping major numbers. My migraines also got worse I feel. I also went from being a 36D to a 36i cup.:/ I struggle with confidence because of my awful chest and pudgy tummy, back and arms. Glad to see I’m not the only one who experienced this stuff.
I love this video.. did you have any plastic surgery at all? This video hits My heart.
In regards to birth control hindering muscle gain, get a low androgenic type and this shouldn’t be an issue. I’ve tried to research what brands are best for this and atm I’ve only found that the mini pill has the lowest adrogenic effect.
Hormonal birth control does not treat hypothalamic amenorrhea. It masks it. It provides synthetic hormones to mimic a cycle and create a bleed. Hormonal birth control prevents you from ovulating. (No Period Now What, Dr. Nicola Rinaldi)
I take the combination pill but when I wasn’t on the pill I didn’t gain weight fast but it’s slowly effecting my belly bloating and water
Thank you so much for sharing and encouraging girls to chase their goals! you are a very nice person, no matter you are chubby or fit!
My arms are skinny. My tummy not that bad. Literally anything I eat goes to my legs I hate it ��
Video:
Birth control can cause weight gain and can cause weight loss
Lol
I started taking BC pills around 19 and gained some weight. I thought well i’m getting older now… maybe this is it and then when i gained close to 50 pounds i thought omg it must be me. i started eating very strict and going to the gym… nothing changed. sure i felt a bit better but i didn’t lose weight didn’t gain muscle, nothing. Still was getting bloated even after stopping sugar, pop, all of that good stuff and i was getting bloated to the point of it looking like i was 4 months pregnant and it HURT. Come to find out that my 8 years of being on BC has destroyed my gut and makes you retain water and tricks you into eating too much. along with a lot of other symptoms. i will be stopping the pill after i get back from my study abroad trip and going off of HBC all together. It’s so frustrating going to the gym for 2 years and thinking it was something you were or were not eating or idk maybe that french fry the other day made me bloat… nope just the pill.
I’m 15 years old. I was on the shot for the three month variation and gained about 45 lbs. I was 135 and fit. But I ended with 180 lbs. not fitting in most of my clothes and i got super depressed. i hated to go shopping bc nothing would fit how i wanted it to. i would cry nearly every night. finally my family saw the change and agreed we should switch to the pill. im still struggling with my weight and it’s been over a month. i was forced to be put on the shot so my family just feels bad. before the shot i was able to eat whatever i wanted. now something is wrong with my metabolism. it’s a struggle but im getting there.
I went off of it and not much did change except my mood when I was on it. I’m back on it and a little afraid of how my body will react again haha. But this video for sure made me feel better! Thank you!
What a truly inspiring story Lyss, amazing job and I hope that this video shows people out there that no matter what the situation you’re in, things can always be done to fix it.
She really made an already tasteless food and made it worse by blending it��
I’m 13 and NOT sexually active. My doctor put me on it for a health reason, not as a contraceptive. So I HAVE to use it, it’s not really just a choice. I’m a teen and I really don’t want to gain weight. I just can’t. I like my weight and don’t want to get any bigger. �� it really stresses me out.
I have done dancing for 5 years and my legs started getting bulky and fat when I got a older
I am the only one bothered by the eggs not being refrigerated when she bought them
So hiit should not be done 3-4 days a week? To lose fat from thighs,?
Did she have the extra skin removed? I am assuming she did since she looks so awesome in a swimming suit. I am so proud of her. Way to go!! She is a role model for sure.
Walking 3 hours a day uphill doesn’t make any sense to me though
Fantastic story. Well done and congratulations on your amazing journey. ��������������������
i hate my legs so much. both my high and calves. my upper body is fine it’s just the bottom part. everyone has long, slim legs while i’m here being 5’ with short bulky and fat legs. i’ve tried so much methods and workout videos but nothing ever works. i’m starting to believe i have to lose weight.p
Congratulations first to God and then wonderful parents who were extremely supportive, you Did it!
Dear girls…
Just to clear things up…
If you do any leg workout you’re only building the muscles… so visually it will make you “fat” so running can help but if you have built muscle before (I was a tennis player for 10yrs) it will be VERY difficult to brake the muscles and slim the legs ��
Just being honest. We have different bodies so everything you see on YouTube doesn’t mean that it will work for you, unfortunately. However hugs to all ��
Why is she so emotional and hysterical? You can tell your story more calmly.
My calves and quads are huge. I did liposuction once and still not getting what I want
omg tysm! I’ve had a hard time because I thought squats were good for you, but I ended up gaining some muscle. It isn’t much but I really wanted it gone, so from now on, I’m going on a run.
It’s lovely to here your story and how onus about if u could do it u would
I’m a very muscular girl like after sixth grade and my thighs have gotten a lot bigger my thighs have always touched even as a little girl
You’re lucky you found a coach who actually agreed to help and didn’t tell you women can’t build muscle because we don’t have enough testosterone.
Summary of this video:
For the diet:
High protein diet, you’ll lose muscle but also fat. High quality protein (turkey, salmon, cod…). You will then have to recover from the diet, you will have to reverse diet and build calories. I need to say that this is highly unhealthy if you don’t have the resources to have professionals around you. You should not do any extreme diets like that, instead just watch your portion and eat a little less unhealthy (while still eating what you like!!). You cannot force a spotted deficit, if you lose weight you’ll lose overall weight, but you can spot muscle formation so maybe if you want lean thighs do less squats. She talks a lot about deficit calories but don’t go to extreme lengths, you will gain weight if you start eating a little more.
About cardio:
If you don’t like to run you can just walk. Here she did a lot of training because she had a lot of muscles she wanted to lose if it is not your case AND you are not used to do a lot of sports you can take it slow!!
If you don’t eat meat some good protein substitutes are nuts, tofu and beans:) but you probably already know that if you’re vegetarian/vegan haha
Can drinking Apple Cider vinegar effect birth control?!?!?!?!��
So then….do you take steroids?..lol
Opens her mouth and suddenly it’s batman talking….”no course not!,…”…lol
Who was your coach? I’m an ex competitive bodybuilder and need to do the same thing!
Wow sophia, this is sooo inspirational, i am my own weight loss journey and i too am looking to get that right diet to see my results. Thank you for sharing your journey, it brought tears to see you fought and worked hard to have the lifestyle you enjoy. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
Im 5’3 and for years all fat goes on my thighs while my arms are pretty skinny… People like my legs cuz it’s “thick” but it was never comfortable for me.
I’ve been eating clean and working out more and all that food stuff. I’ve lost like three+ inches in my waist but not a SINGLE centimeter from my thighs or calves:/
On one pill I took (a triphasic), I gained weight and had major mood swings and my boobs always hurt; now I’m on a monophasic continuous pill (no placebo week) and I feel great, I haven’t gained much weight and it has changed my fat distribution in a positive way (more hourglass)
You are amazing and your family is something what I never saw ❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is such a helpful video as i feel like i am constantly struggling with slimming down my legs
Can’t keep it to myself anymore, you look like a 10yo but sound like you’re 26
Well I’m tall and I have lots of muscle in my thighs I played soccer, basketball, I did track and dance so i gained a lot of muscle so this isn’t just for short people lol
Long distance runner here ����♀️ yeah my quads are pretty dang muscular. Do you think doing HIIT workouts will tone them down or pump them up?
