fat storage in the gut might be due to high cortisol level. cortisol corresponds with insulin and stress. long arduous exercises over an hour long can also cause your body to release cortisol. hence, the recommendation for shorter high intensity workouts, and low carb diet (since carb raises insulin).
then you can eat lots of good fats and proteins (and veggies), in combination with estrogenic herbs, and hopefully gain fat in other areas like hips/butt/breasts rather than gut.
this is my theory anyways based on my own researches from the past few months.
interesting about the fenugreek. i'd have to look further into what else is in that tea i'm drinking.
i'm thinking of switching from natureday to greenbush since it's cheaper and i don't like the fact that natureday seem to have tons of fake testimonials on amazon.
