Some of the current changes I've experienced with the few products I've recently started using:
Oct 21: Started Bella Cream. (1x a day, 2 if I can remember) usually after hot shower.
Quarter sized spread between both sides.
Focusing on upper and center of chest. Also adding to hip dips/butt.
Bella Cream 1 (Amazon). Bella Cream 2 (Amazon)
(photos added for ingredients list)
Nov 11: Haven't noticed any change in size/shape. But have noticed breast tenderness. Some itching here and there. Also very tender and sore nipples.
I have been avoiding adding this to my nipples so I'm not sure why that's happening?
I bought 2 bottles of this (2/30$) and will be using it until it's gone. I was unsure if this would even work, so I bought enough of it to give a decent test time.
This goes on like a thick cream and absorbs pretty quickly, so it's not ideal for a long in depth massage.
Looking for better options/oils that may produce better results. But for now going to use this in conjunction with herbs/sups ect.
Q: If anyone sees the ingredients list and can tell me if any of the ingredients are actually helpful that would be appreciated.
Still unsure if this product is just snake oil. I will make a full review after I finish what I've bought to let everyone know I'd this worked or not.
MACA
MACA (The Body Shop) 10:1 extract
Started mid September, finished mid October.
Went from 115lbs to 121lbs
This was impressive because the highest weight I've been has been 115 and I've always struggled to get above that (when trying to gain) so the fact I gained 6lbs in a month was very exciting.
This was also with a poor diet, no exercise, and not having large amounts of protein, no specific massages to brest, legs, butt.
Downsides:
• Because you gain fat all over the body, your body generally puts it where it naturally wants to go. So I gained weight mostly in my lower half and unfortunately some in the stomach ):
Which kind of sucks because now my stomach is not only now bloated but also has a fat layer on it.
My hip dips are more noticeable now.
• Also Ive noticed more cellulite on my thighs and butt. Something I didn't account for or take into consideration to minimize.
• This brand is sort of expensive, especially to ship to Canada after taking in exchange rates into account.
Going forward:
I was happy with the brand I got, because of its results.
I will buy more, but only on significant sale, as it's not affordable to buy at regular price for myself.
I also don't think it needs to be something taken every single month. I may buy some bottles and cycle on and off for a couple weeks or maybe months. To save myself money but also to not add fat too fast to my body and therefore unwanted cellulite/fat in wrong places.
I also think if I incorporated breast, butt, leg focused massage that it may help bring growth the that area (by stimulating blood/nutrient supply to the area)
So when I try Maca again, I will be doing regularly daily massage.
Also need to find something that can reduce cellulite for legs and butt. May be red light therapy alongside massage with specific cellulite oil/lotion ect while taking this.
Will definitely buy again, if I find an equivalent of product for a cheaper price, I will update and add it in here.
Fenugreek:
Ive been taking fenugreek on an off for a few months. Just started being more consistent in the past month or so. A few weeks ago I upped my dosage from 2 to 4 pills per day (2440mg) There was also fenugreek extract in the MACA sup I was taking, so figured adding more of my regular FG would help after the MACA ran out.
I haven't really noticed much growth though. I noticed the most changes while taking the MACA. Unsure if the fenugreek extract assisted with that or not.
Currently it's too soon to tell if just the regular FG is making a difference, since I've only been taking 4 a day for only a couple weeks.
Debating on buying fenugreek oil to directly massage into areas I want growth to see if this helps at all.
Many others on here have seen great results from it.
I know some people talk about a sweet or maple smell while taking it.
This is true! My pits have a sweet smell to them now...I personally don't mind this at all, I actually kind of like it so this isn't a downside to me, but it's good to note for others would might not like it.
The taste is AWFUL on it own. I tried once to drink the powder mixed with water or juice....BAD BAD BAD! ? so now I will only take it in capsules. I've read sprouted is really good but I have yet to try.
