Why can there be such a sudden increase in weight, if I eat what I always eat?

After a year of taking birth control pills, I stopped them permanently, I feel that I gained a lot of weight after them because about 10 kg I stopped taking pills and still gain weight despite the fact that I still eat what I always eat. Where can there be such a sudden increase in weight, how to deal with it, can it be water in the body?

Birth control pills sometimes cause slight swelling, but these should disappear after hormone withdrawal. The human body is almost 70% water, so it is unlikely to be possible, only its accumulation was responsible for the increase in body weight by as much as 10 kilograms. Tablets can also sometimes cause weight fluctuations, but this effect should also disappear after the end of therapy. Your entry shows that it is worth taking a few steps. In the first place, it would be good to assess what it means to "eat what I always eat" - does your diet provide a balance of calorie supply and their expenditure? If it is difficult for you to check it yourself, a dietitian can help. To lose weight must occur a caloric deficit. If you do not see the reason for the weight gain in your lifestyle, it is worth going to the general practitioner for basic diagnostics.
