Fenugreek, goat's rue, and black seed are waist slimmers.
I can confirm that. I've been on Fenugreek and Saw Palmetto for just over 4 months, have shrunk my belt size by 4 notches (inches) and some of the fat that didn't totally vanish (lost 28 lbs since I started) has redistributed nicely. My hourglass shape is coming along: 39-33-41. Walking the dog more often has also contributed.
My regimen for this was:
2x610mg FG seed 3x per day (as recommended on bottle).
1x160mg SP extract 3x per day (3/day instead of the 2x recommendation).
Right now I'm just on 4FG/day and 2SP/day while I wait for my PM to arrive, and then I'll drop the FG and see what kind of magic PM can work.
Hi,
not to be argumentative (at least I never intend to be!

), but surely what you say also confirms my opinion? You lost 4 inches, but at the same time, lost 28 lbs!
My scepticism is whether you can "move the fat around" by
maintaining the same weight! I can't imagine what the metabolic processes would be.
My understanding, for what it's worth, is that the fat remains in the cell until it is metabolised for energy when blood sugar level cannot be maintained by sufficient carb intake. I can't imagine how a herb could persuade the fat to flow out of one cell and into another in a more feminine position!
I'm guessing that fenugreek has an estrogenic action which causes the body to prefer to deposit spare energy in the form of fat cells in the breasts and buttocks, but "male" fat around the middle
still needs to be lost by dieting - and the most effective kind of diet that I know of restricts carb intake so that the body is forced to make use of fat reserves.
Now, it may well be that fenugreek reduces the appetite as well, which would be A Good Thing.
In my case, the mental benefits I gained through PM have enabled me to abandon the comfort eating that having a female mind in a male body induced.
TTFN
