i exercise as well however. it may slow my progress a bit, but i have to exercise for my job anyway (military)... i actually find that it gives me more energy.
another thing you can try is adding a very very small dose of fennel... too small to affect your be (you arent really supposed to use it if you are using bo), but it will help your digestion and that will relieve a lot of the bloating from the milk and protein shakes. i only believe this because i am doing one of the liver/colon cleanses (colonix) at the same time and it has a little bit of fennel in it, and keeping my system clear is helping me not get bloated...
maybe that helps?
hugs and good boobie wishes...

Some women did gain weight from taking whey protein(myself included). Other women has told me that if you taking the whey protein with skim milk, it will help you not to gain weight. I take my BO with whole milk. It has some protein in it and fat for breast growth. I'm still growing without any protein supplement. I also try to eat a good diet. Good luck with your growth.

Whey protein should not have too many calories in it. One of the advantages of that kind of protein supplement is that it contains a lot of protein but not many calories. So it shouldn't really cause weight gain.

as in wonderbride's case the protein drinks did cause her to gain weight and I do believe it all depends on our bodies and how maybe the extra protein gets used in our body. Too much protein at one time is not good in my opinion, since it's said through my research that the body can only absorb 25g of protein at one time, any over that and I'm sure the body just uses it for 'waste'. So as long as it's not too much protein at once, like 20g would be good. I drink 2 protein drinks a day (each 20g) and I also watch my calorie intake everyday. I take into consideration that each protein drink is about 200 calories(w/milk) and so I'm consuming 400 cal. a day just on protein drinks alone and then I account for everything else I eat throughout the day and usually don't go over 1300 or 1400 calories, cause I don't want to gain the weight. Someone had a posted a formula on the main forum not too long ago about figuring the calories we need a day in order to stay at the same weight. I can't remember what the topic was, but maybe do a search for it if you're interested. I did the formula and found out I need to stay at about 1300 calories a day, sometimes I do go over that of course when I exercise since I'm burning more calories then.
Good luck to you!!

I have only been on BB for 2 days, and have gained 3lbs. I have recently lost around 30, and have 30 more to go. The last thing I want is to gain after going down 2 sizes in the last 6 months. I ordered Jay Robbs whey protein, I used it on the fat flush diet and it was soooo good. It hasn't come yet, so I have been drinking a slim fast with my pill in the morning and evening (10g each), then making sure I eat the balance of 50g in meals, but very low calorie. I was really depressed when I saw the scale go up, and my rings are loose so it's not water weight. I'm thinking/hoping my body just needs to adjust to the new substance. Honestly, I had been trying eat high protein before to try to keep/build muscle while losing fat, so this isn't much of a change. I guess I will have to wait and see. Sorry to chime in on this and tell my story, but I agree with Michelle, if you eat pretty healthy, the protein shakes should not cause you to gain weight. When my shakes do arrive, I am going to try to stop eating so much protien, and focus on whole grains and veggies/fruits, and I guess get some fat here and there to help my growth. Good luck to you.

SENIOR MEMBER good idea! November 17 2006, 12:03 AM
Good idea sissy about the fruits/veggies...cause I totally forgot that yesterday I was looking back at the very beginning of taking the bb pills and how my growth was so much better then than it is right now and the only difference I could think of was I was eating more fruits/vegatables back then. I'm not an avid fruit/veggie eater, but I remember back then trying to incorporate them into my daily diet at least 2x a day and I just kinda slacked off doing that about 5 months ago and every since my growth seems a lot slower. So maybe more fruits/veggies is a good idea.
Oh and sorry about your recent little weight gain, I know it's frustrating, but congratulations on losing the 30lbs!!! that's a lot of weight and it takes great dedication to do that also, so you shouldn't have a problem with hanging in there with NBE.

Hi Sissy and Michelle. It seems that the better your diet, the more successful your growth will be. Go to the BB website, on the testimonial page, if you listen to the AUDIO testimony(not the written one the page)of Heidi VonSont, she said she grew 2 cup sizes in 4 months, her smaller breast evened out with the larger one and she feels that eating organic foods, juicing, lots of salads, and staying away from fried, processed foods, junk food and sugar helped her to grow faster.
It's pretty hard to keep up with eating healthy all the time, even I get a sweet tooth sometimes and want fried chicken and swimp tempura but I try and make an effort and do what I can...lol
Good luck to all!
