Does cellulose make you gain weight?
No. instead Cellulose might induce weight loss by prolonging the feeling of satiety. Cellulose is the main component of cell walls of plants. It has no taste and no calorie value. Humans can not digest cellulose and so pass it to the colon from the small intestines. In the colon, cellulose absorbs water, increasing the size of the stool and making it softer. This way, cellulose helps the stool to pass through the colon easier, and therefore is helpful in the treatment and prevention of constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis.

What is the Effect of contraceptive on menstrual cycle?
Hormonal contraception shuts down the menstrual cycle all together.
Hormonal contraception stops the menstrual cycle so that you no longer ovulate, thus also in turn you don't menstruate - the idea that hormonal contraception regulates your periods/cycles is thus a myth. People still see regular bleeds on most forms of hormonal contraception, for example on the pill, but this is a withdrawal bleed caused by hormonal drops when going from active to inactive bleeds rather than regular menstruation you'd get with a healthy menstrual cycle.

What is the difference between birth control and contraceptives?

YES. It does not matter how long you have been on birth control. If you miss pills, you have a good chance of becoming pregnant. Use alternate forms of contraception (condoms) until your next cycle.

If you start your period on Sunday should you wait till next Sunday to start birth control?
If you plan to be a "Sunday starter" then the general rule would be that you should start your pack the Sunday after your period, or on the same day your period starts if your period starts on Sunday. For example, if you get your period on Friday you should still take the pill starting on Sunday, even if you still have your period. However, if you got your period on a Sunday you should start your pack that day.
However, starting the birth control pill in the first five days of menstrual bleeding gives you immediate protection. Starting on Sunday has disadvantages.
Traditionally, women in the US started the birth control pill on Sunday. This has an obvious disadvantage - your health care provider's office is closed on Sunday, and many women start their pill late when they notice too late that they're out of pills. Do yourself a favor and consider starting on a weekday, as they do in most other countries.
