In the past, contraceptives contained high levels of estrogen, and long-term use would indeed lead to fat accumulation in the body. However, in recent years, the estrogen content in new oral contraceptives has dropped from 150 micrograms to 30 micrograms or even 20 micrograms. This oral contraceptive contains only ultra-low estrogen and will not make you fat at all.

If you don’t have time to exercise, you can still exercise by walking to and from get off work. However, if you walk with the wrong posture or wear the wrong shoes, not only will you not lose weight, but you may also become fatter and even seriously affect the health of your feet.
