I linked three pages of a book here

Those pages explain insulin sensitivity from all angles in a short text. It may not be clear at first, because a lot is in medical jargon, but if you read it a few times over, the essentials sink in.
Ahh well, I can explain it shorter. Fat in the belly is a vicious circle. It decreases sensitivity to insulin. Insulin is the hormone the pancreas makes to make energy from blood sugar. If sugar does not become energy, it becomes fat, in the belly.
Fenugreek stimulates the pancreas to make more insulin, and fenugreek increases sensitivity to insulin too, so it cuts the circle in two places. This makes it the most effective waist slimmer.
Goat's rue increases insulin sensitivity too, but it does not stimulate the pancreas to make more insulin. Insulin binds to Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). SHBG releases free testosterone to make room for the insulin. So fenugreek may cause break outs in people who do not take enough anti-androgens. Goat's rue won't.
Fenugreek and fennel increase prolactin. Prolactin makes milk, so it causes swelling. Fenugreek contains diosgenin, which increases progesterone. Turmeric and fennel contain phyto-progestins. Progesterone and progestins round the breasts out, by developing the glands and alveolas. So with this bomb of swelling and roundness, you're surprised it hurts?
Ok let me get this straight.. Fenugreek helps with the belly looking like I am prego.. I am pretty much thin but look prego.. but you have said that Fenugreek can give carb and vinegar craving which to me is an oxymoron I dont mind the vinegar craving.. anyway that link made alot of sense in other areas to me.. my main problem is chin hair and acne.. didnt know licorice helped in that area for the anti androgens..I think my teas help alot with this cause after I drink them I feel better my skin looks better.. Isabelle I am thinking of stopping PM and using herbs like you and Eve cause they have been around longer and PM seems like it isnt really dont anything.. I am thinking back when I was taking Fenugreek before my PM arrived and I was getting more action and as I sit here I am feeling more.. remember when I felt action taking PM well I was taking FG or other herbs with it..anytime I take PM alone it doesnt do much at all except for the skin, hair but I can take other things for that (any tips for that).. my main thing is I dont want break outs anymore and chin hairs along with getting bigger titas.. oh I think I gain some weight too..ok done rambling
