Did you gain weight?

Hi Everybody,
I've been reading a lot of posts about weight gain, despite the fact that the herb companies say it doesn't happen.

Who here has gained weight as a result of BE? How much? Has anybody gained breast tissue WITHOUT gaining weight?

I'm a little concerned, of course. I have been taking herbs for a month without any weight gain (though my breasts seem to be larger) - so do you think I am off the hook? I've never gained weight as a result of birth control, so maybe (hopefully) I am a lucky one?

Feedback? Comments? Thanks!!

Hi Lucille,
I did not gain weight from herbal BE. ;D I did gain some cellulite which is what excess estrogen does.

However, during my first run with herbal BE, I also discovered I had a thyroid issue, hypothyroid....which I prolly had for a VERY long time, but really came to light when I had upped the phyto-estrogens. Once I got that under control, I lost a LOT of water weight & cellulite. I did trim down (not weight loss) when I went on break...been on herbs for about 6 weeks now, and have not had any significant weight gain...in fact, I've been loosing weight...just cuz I don't eat. Me bad! I'm working on it though, make sure I eat sumptin' or get yelled at by hubby and kidz!

So...maybe you will be lucky...just a touch of excess cellulite, which does fall away once your BE program is finished.
