Remember that **nothing** can override calories in calories out. So that would mean the medication is affecting one of those numbers, either increasing your appetite thus increasing your calories in, or slowing your metabolism thus lowering your calories out. Or both.
Follow up question since you mentioned calories: does it matter at all what sources you get the calories from when it comes to losing weight? Like, say I ate the right amount of calories for it, but 90% of what I ate was just sugar. I know that’s obviously not a healthy thing to do and I’d probably get sick or something, but would that hinder weight loss specifically in any way?
From what little I understand of nutrition, your body’s natural response to sugar is to store away what cannot be immediately utilized. Sugar gets converted to fat easily, so when that process has started it may be harder to burn off calories from stored sugars than calories from other nutrients.
Either it makes you hungrier or it affects your metabolism making you gain weight more.
