Natural Breast Enhancement Forums

Over the past 2 years I've undergone a massive change in my body fat distribution. I gained 15 lb which brought me back to my slightly chubby high school weight. That wouldn't be so bad, if it weren't for the fact that instead of gaining huge hips and booty like I did in high school, a lot of the weight went to my pooch It doesn't really show up in my waist measurement, because the weight is all in a tight concentrated ball on my lower stomach. It literally looks like I'm pregnant. More importantly, it isn't saggy at all, and I can hardly pinch any fat. I think this means that I gained a huge amount of visceral fat (the fat underneath the muscle that packs around your internal organs). Normal tummy fat is subcutaneous, meaning that it's just beneath the skin. The only thing that I think could make me pack on so much visceral fat is high cortisol. I'm thinking of taking Lean Xtreme (a cortisol blocker) to help encourage my body to distribute fat differently. What I want to know is whether or not blocking cortisol might slow my NBE in any way. It probably wont, and I doubt any one knows the answer, but it can't hurt to ask. Right?

It won't: cortisol suppresses estrogens.

But there is a better way. Visceral fat builds up in an upward spiral of insulin and cortisol. Insulin is worse than cortisol. And the best way to suppress insulin is fenugreek. The best way to prevent the return of visceral fat, once you lost it, is omega-3 fatty acids, as in flax seed oil.

Is there a specific reason why managing both cortisol and insulin would be a bad thing? Also, how do omega 3's prevent visceral fat?[/php]

K... I'm looking into the relation between cortisol and insulin, to see if the combination of FG, dandelion root, and cortisol blockers might cause weird and dangerous changes in blood sugar. You mentioned some people feel sick when taking DR. I wonder if that's because of its effect on blood sugar, or because it's a mild diuretic.

Hi Mochaccino,

I've scooped up the answers:

The herbal way to do it is explained in the book I linked here:

I linked the story on omega-3 fatty acids from here:

We thought it was related to a very strong phyto-estrogenic effect, but that's certainly not the last word about it. It's in the first seven posts on this page:
