@Reloadme budding does not mean that your shape changes, only that your body is actually starting to set up to produce breast tissue. The "nodules" under the areolas are small at first and then they expand like a disk, they become soft but they don't look like breasts and they don't change the size of your nipples. Just imagine to have two harder-than-skin quarter dollars embedded under your areolas that will then merge with the rest of your chest, invisibly. After the budding happens it'll still take some time, like a month or two, before you can see any real breast augmentation and whatever you get in that amount of time is "reversible" working out at the gym. The "point of no return" is usually after more than two months (at least one) from budding, when the shape of your chest will change and become more "pointy". After this stage breast tissue will start accumulating and there is no work out to send that away. At this point, depending on your body time, genetics, and diet, you might end up with conical breasts that push your areolas out first, or round ones that create an underboob shape (if you are a bit overweight the second case is more likely). If you keep going with 2000 mg/day of PM, that is quite high, you might get a small round A cup about 4 months after you start. Judging by many pictures (including mine) and measurements found on this and other sites, I would say that as long as you stop at an A cup you can easilly get away with your boobs and no one will think that anything is wrong with you; there are plenty of men on any beach with "involuntary" A cups. If you push for more, I would say that anything after that becomes too big to excuse with anything but gynecomastia. So, based on this, you decide how far you want to go.

A thing about Saw Palmetto. It acts like a Testosterone blocker, paving the way for breast growth (a tiny bit faster) but also amplifying the side effects. So, if you care for you family jewels (you know, down there) and function you may want to avoid SP or any other T blocker. Talking about family jewels, with 2000 mg/day of PM you'll soon see some decrease in performaces. Depending on your relationship status this is something you may want to think about. If you want to regain stamina and continue NBE you should take a month or two months off PM, let the function go back to normal, and then start PM again. Apparently PM works faster each time you take a break and restart, while loss of performances is less every time.

Someone else talked about calcium. This is totally true. Your body need calcium to build breast tissue and you don't want to take it from your bones causing osteoporosis. If you don't want to take supplements, drink loads of milk. My suggestion from experience is to eat a lot of cheese (cheddar style) that provides fat, proteins and calcium. 3 things your body needs to grow breasts.

Don't forget to take a before picture while you can!
