I have been off fenugreek for 44 days now. Should start it again. The primary target now is fat loss around the abdomen, and besides goat's rue, fenugreek also helps against insulin resistance:

Gogirlanime also commented that fenugreeks helps too:

and that there is no evidence that topical goat's rue will be effective against insulin resistance:

Fat around the abdomen, insulin resistance, sugar cravings, and high cortisol are all part of the same problem. A good explanation of what causes what is on pages 312 to 314 of the book "Complementary therapies and the management of diabetes and vascular disease" by Trisha Dunning:

Oats is also listed in Table 14.2 as a remedy, besides fenugreek.
Yesterday, I split 2000 mg hops between tea and porridge. I felt no tingles (did feel the free testosterone, woo hoo), but this morning there is more to grab. I think I'm also putting on weight.
