Hey all! (again lol)
I don't know if anyone here has experienced this but does anyone happen to know what specific weight gain in the arms signify? Ironically, when I was taking fg/wy/sp on a somewhat sporadic basis a couple of years ago, my arms remained small. However, whenever I gain weight my arms are like the first things to get bigger (grr!!!). Isabelle, do you have any thoughts of how to get rids of arm fat - I asked this because I wasn't sure if this was a commonality between nbe and weight gain in that region. btw i'm 21 years old lol.
Also, I really hope I'm not irritating anyone by asking this question - due to the fact that most people have slightly different goals. But karen, I know you were discussing the mechanisms of estrogen and how that relates to NBE. I personally wanted to know what ways in which and in what time frame does estrogen by way of NBE herbs affect secondary characteristics such as gaining weight in the lower region (i.e. hips, butt etc). Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason why estrogen adds weight to the hips is to prepare the women for pregnancy, right? In order to promote estrogenic fat gain in those areas - does it work the same way in growing breasts in which there needs to be a balancing act? or does it happen as a result of any estrogenic activity that may be going on in the body (whether it be from phytoestrogens or an increase in estradiol)? I assume that one has to have estrogen receptors in those areas to start with, so if a person does have estrogen receptors in the lower body region - how does the weight gain happen? lol I'm sure the all-knowing Isabelle would be able to provide some info.
I apologize, I'm sure the last question could have been surmised into one line - however I often have a hard time explaining myself, thus resulting in such a long answer. lol I'm just trying to understand the mechanism of how it works, if possible.
