Girls, listen to me, ok?
I used to have a size A bra when I married my husband 21 yrs ago.
I hardly ever ate meat, and I hardly ever drank milk.Then I got pregnant with our 2nd child....and all of a sudden, I was CRAVING meat and milk and of all things, TOMATOES!!!! Along with cantaloupes and such as that. So, the main thing for you girls to do, in my opinion, is to do the following, whilst on herbs and herbal NBE, and you will see great success with your journey.... Trust me, I am a former A cupper, who is now a C cupper trying to catch up with Jelly...lol

Drink atleast 8 cups of pure water everyday
Stay away from sugar the added kind
Exercise atleast 20 minutes a day
get atleast 3 servings of natural calcium a day ( milk, cheese,ect)
Limit your red meat intake to only 1 or 2 servings a week
EAT FISH AND CHICKEN
Keep a journal of what you have eaten to check yourself
Massage morning and evening
Take your herbs at the exact same time everyday.
Eat fiber....whole grains,green veggies,or take a fiber supplement. If you take a supplement, do so at the end of your day. That way the herbs you take in the morning will NOT flush away.
But most of all, LOVE who you are. Yep, thats right....half the battle of this boobie quest is loving the person you are and being comfortable in your own skin.

My routine isn't posted because it is too complex, even for me. It all has to do with what I eat and what herbs I take. Like, watching tv with the fam, I will make soy beans for myself and have that instead of the butter, not so good for you popcorn.I am not really trying to gain boobs, I am trying to round out the ones I have and keep them. I know you all know what I mean.
But for goodness sakes, DO NOT GIVE UP!!! If WU or BGP or BS doesnt work for you, still look for another way.Maybe you CAN start by asking yourself.... Hummmm, what did I eat today ? Did I take my pills at 12 noon like I did yesterday? Consitancy pays the big boobs..... Give it a try.
Much love, and hopeful success to you all,
Carol Ann

i would definitely agree with miss carol ann...

i am a cheapskate, and one thing i have found is that it is actually cheaper to eat better! thats because all of the processing in cookies and snack foods raise the price, so for the price of a box of cookies i can get a bag of salad, some toppings, and maybe even a little dressing, and that will last me a week (as opposed to the cookies, which last a few days depending on how annoyed i get at work during the day!).

this has helped me like who i am and what i look like, which is much better for the boobies than constantly wishing for something else...

so take care of yourselves, ladies!!

I agree with most of this too. I was very thin with small boobs when I was young and skinny. After having two kids and eating more food, I was easily a B cup. Now I am about a C cup, after doing NBE, but a lot of it is not the herbs, but focusing on eating a little extra food here and there, drinking protein shakes, and doing massage. I think the herbs have helped, but slowly, and a lot of that is just firming and rounding. To be honest, I have gained at least 6 pounds through this NBE process, and I think that, at least for me, I had to be willing to gain that weight, in order to get fuller boobs.

Good luck to everyone!

I would like to offer up a suggestion that one should eat read meat more than 1 time a week. I believe eating red meat is thought by some on the beboard to be very helpful with regards to NBE. In fact, I read 1 thread that said they could only recall 1 person who grew witout eating red meat.

Just a thought, not wishing to offend anyone...

I agree with Surf...I have been forcing myself to eat a little red meat each week, even though I don't really like it. I think its a good 'building' food. I know this is a touchy subject with some people because I was vegetarian for a long time too (many years ago). Each body is different and responds to different things, but my body has been growing better with the heavier foods.

The red meat, though, is very hard to digest and therefore stays in your body longer than other meats, like fish and chicken. It hinders the fiber from doing it's proper job while you are trying to rid yourself of unwanted toxins. Thats why I said red meat. But ,sure, if you dont have a problem with your colon,and digestive tract,which most of us do and just dont realize that, then eat red meat whenever.I for one, have to watch my red meat intake because the toots are too much for anyone to bare...and the indigestion I get from it,and the sluggish feelings makes me lazy. But thats me.
And Jelly... no baby, I was a D once upon a time... I stopped all NBE,and lost 42 pounds,so now I am a C headed in your direction,lol

The beef connection seems complicated to me. Teresa Tapp, owner of t-tapp.com, discusses the difficulty that some have digesting it on her 'Personal Profile' CD. She did testing on people with different blood types to see how fast the various types could eliminate red meat. If I recall correctly, she claims Os and Bs have the easiest time with beef and that some even seem to need it to thrive, that they benefit a lot from the B vitamins. She also says As and ABs have trouble digesting it in a timely manner and that it can cause them more problems than it's worth.

I've no idea how true this holds for the general public and have never put much stock in the tie between blood types and diet. I'm an AB and don't fit the profile. I don't have any digestive issues, meat-related or otherwise, and react fine to beef but stopped eating it in '99. I also avoided meats as a kid and it didn't negatively affect my breast growth, but I'm sure everyone is different and genetics play a role. I grew a *lot* at a young age on a diet virtually free of animal products. Maybe it's different with BE, though.

I completely agree. After eating red meat (even before I knew about NBE) I always felt my breasts fuller due to that fact.
Also, if you read the wise information that Tigerlily and Feng. have received from the Chinese traditional ways, red meat is listed as a breast-friendly food.

I'm telling ya, if you want to grow boobs it ain't gonna happen on a limited vegetarian diet. Possible? Maybe, but it would be extremely hard.

You are such a nice person, thanks for the advice. (sepcially the last one Smile I've been a little tense lately because i was expecting too much from my WU bootles, well i think im back to earth now.

i'm trying to find a diet that's boob freindly but also that will not cause me to gain weight, im not pettite (5'8) so a few pounds have a very frustrating effect on me.
Added to the list you have posted, do you think it would be a good idea to cut a few fatty foods, or maybe try to cut carbohydrates such as pasta?

The first thing i'll do is start eating chicken and fish as you suggest, becuase i havent... i only eat tons of nuts and cheese, guess not very smart for boobie growing

I cant eat chicken, my bloke refuses to eat it so for the past3/4 years i havent really eated much and when i have it i don't really like the taste.
i do eat loads of red meat, always have and sadly im still an A cup, if the theory worked right i would deffo be a DD n if i was i wouldnt b here

I do agree diet is important- ithink its more important to avoid processed foods and try to eat organically when ever possible-
i had a thaught ages ago regarding why i feel the cup sizes in my family decreased in time, and we had a discussion about how "in the old days" they didnt have such overly processed foods as we do now and how the processed food intake would certainly increase through the ages, from gran, to mum to me.

For those who have said that they do or used to eat a lot of red meat and still didn't grow, maybe it was because your hormones were not balanced or there were other factors that prevented you from growing.

I'm not saying that eating red meat alone will make your boobs grow!!!! GEEZ!

All I'm saying is that it could posibly help, along with all the other things your currently doing in your personal NBE program.

Who exactly said that meat and milk do make you instantly grow breasts? I don't recall anyone saying that they did.

Thank you for expressing your opinion about not wanting to "cause the suffering of other sentient beings simply so I can have breasts". Isn't it wonderful that we have a place where we have the freedom to express our opinions? Obviously, not everyone shares the same opinion - what a dull world we would live in if in fact we did!!!

During the time when you "always drank tons of milk, and ate meat every day before going vegan and (I) was always an A cup", were you on a NBE program?

Before calling it "wife's tale bull**** about meat", maybe we should all listen to what several people have reported on this thread about feeling tingles and fuller breasts after eating red meat.



It's wonderful that we have the capacity to learn from others' experiences, if we just open our minds.

i've been an on-again off-again veg for a number of years, and on the vegan route since a few months ago. i don't think eating meat is necessary for a successful NBE program; and in fact going vegan has made it easy for me to eat healthy and keep my weight down without effort (i tend to gain a bit of weight, at 5'5" and < 130 lbs). one has to watch one's protein intake, it's true, but there are more protein sources out there that people realize. the standard american diet is way too heavy on protein, which causes people calcium deficiency. there are plenty of good veg protein sources, including soy, beans, nuts, seeds, pulses, many grains and even some fruit.

Meat and Milk....................
March 9 2007, 9:26 PM

Is it possible that the "meat and milk" nowdays is so tainted with hormones that there is the potential to grow with them added into ones NBE diet. Not saying one would but there could be the potential. look at all the younger girls nowdays that have much bigger boobs then previous generations and their diets consisted of alot of milk and red meat, or at least the ones I know ~ mainly milk.........

I don't think just meat and milk will work, and I don't recommend overloading ones system with the hormones found in them today, but I can see how they could attribute to growth as it seems alot of younger girls are getting results just by larger intakes and then the onset of puberty


Just my thoughts.......

hormones in meat
March 9 2007, 9:40 PM

Yes, it is true that the hormones in meat and milk (which has hgh) is causing girls and boys to mature earlier...and I agree, a lot are growing seemingly larger boobs than earlier generations. We drink hormone free milk, and my girls are not even starting to develop, although many of their peers are.
The down side is that the milk and meat hormones are not only causing maturity, they are causing obesity.

Thanks for making this post Carol Ann, it's definitely very encouraging.


Regarding that anonymous comment about red meat, I think it's really distasteful to mention that a vegetarian could hardly grow during NBE, based solely on one's personal experience. Actually I have to say that when I was a vegetarian in my teens(for a period of 2 years)my boobs actually got more fuller and I didn't put on weight during that time. I also have to say, I still eat soy on a regular basis (1-4 times a week) and when I eat more soy I notice some increase in fullness. I don't really experience that with red meat so I guess everyone is different. Which makes that sort of remark a bit useless.

Regarding the hormones (and antibiotics and toxins) we get on our food nowadays, I think they're more likely to hinder any progress (please make a search under xenoestrogens) than actually improve, but that depends a lot on the person. Red meat is a great source of protein that's a known fact so it can help a great deal depending on the person and their dietary habits.

Also have to add that in what concerns one's diet, one thing that seems to kill boobage for me, is refined sugary stuff... sounds nuts but it's like the fats move to all the places they shouldn't... :S

I totally agree with those who mentioned hormones in meat. It is actually a huge problem in the United States in particular. Girls are reaching puberty at earler and earlier ages because of the the homones we give to animals. The hormones they give female cows to keep them in a state of constant lactation has actually been found to be carcinogenic. When these cows are milked, a greenish pus is released from the nipple, and actually, that goes into your milk. Canada has banned the these hormones in female cows, but he U.S. has not. The homones in conventional meat and milk products can and do create hormone imbalances. If you like meat and milk products, you should invest the extra money in buying free range and organically fed...hormone free. all large-scale commercial meat industries use hormones and antibiotics - things that you really don't want in your body.

Hello.

Red meat has Arachidonic Acid which is a precursor to prostaglandin E2 which is a precursor to aromatase. Aromatase is a precursor to estrogen.

* aromatase + testosterone = estrogen
* PGE2 is a precursor to aromatase)
* Arachiconic Acid is a precursor to PGE2
* Red meat contains Arachiconic Acid

You can come up with all kinds of gross out stories about any food, not just meat. It is beside the point.

You can come up with all kinds of reasons not to eat US beef or drink US milk since the hormones cause problems in some girls in their development years. THE SAME IS TRUE WITH SOY!!!! It is irrelevant since we are dealing with mature women who are not in that stage of development.

BTW, the "undesirable" hormone that is found in U.S. beef is growth hormone (somatotropin if I remember right) which is something that you would definitely want in a BE program.

I asked all women on the BEBOARD one time who ate meat and who did not. The types of meat varied. All of those that were growers ate meat. All of those who did not eat meat did not grow - at that time, I now know of a single exception.

I have watched for years as vegans and vegetarians (to me there is no difference) struggle to grow at all. I am only aware of one exception and I suspect that it is because she eats eggs. The yolks contain Arachidonic Acid.

Red meat is good for BE. Nothing is good for you in excess, including water.

Moo.

Re: To the discouraged girls

Wahaika,

Even if red meat increases estrogen (which may perfectly not happen) that doesn't mean that your going to grow breasts, it's a known fact that too much estrogen can shut down the receptors before you can even start to develop.

Anyways, taken from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachidonic_acid):

"Some mammals lack the ability to—or have a very limited capacity to—convert linoleic acid into arachidonic acid, making it an essential part of their diet. Since little or no arachidonic acid is found in plants, such animals are obligatory carnivores; the cat is a common example.[2][3]

Arachidonic acid in the human body comes from dietary animal sources—meat, eggs, dairy—or is synthesized from linoleic acid."

"Human adults are shown to be capable of conversion of linoleic acid (LA, 18:2 n-6) to arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4 n-6) in vivo. It is confirmed that they can also convert alpha-linolenic acid (LNA, 18:3 n-3) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5 n-3) and to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) in vivo."

So apparently, that's not a problem for vegetarians either. Also it's one of the most dangerous fats around, you don't want to get it in high amounts because it's toxic, the whole thing about GLA is because it helps to counteract the nasty effects of AA.

edit:

And soy (we only get the biologic types around here), but it's not as toxic and dangerous as meat in all aspects. It's known that can hinder growth a little in height but that's pretty much it. It's not full of carcinogenics/toxins/antibiotics/dangerous hormones. Not to mention diseases like the mad cow disease, bird flu, etc.

It seems like it would be possible to grow as a vegetarian, but you'd just have to work at it more, maybe? A key component of growing bigger breasts for me has simply been gaining weight, and this is of course easier when you are eating meat. But certainly not impossible for vegetarians.

Everyone is sharing such interesting information. Thank you.

Not to start anything but soy can contain carcinogens (lysinealine, nitrosamines) and have negative effects. It's not easily digested and can impair thyroid function, which would be bad for BE, among other things. I'm not making a case for people to stop eating soy -- I used to eat plenty of it myself and feel strongly that diet is a personal matter and everyone should be free to choose without criticism -- but I would not say it's necessarily safer than meat, just different in tersm of potential problems. I hate meat and have been a vegetarian or vegan for much of my life, but there are negative aspects of most foods, soy included. One of the issues with soy milk is that it can be so heavily processed that it lacks cystine.

Just my two cents. Smile

Soy dangers
March 10 2007, 1:52 PM


I know it may seem that soy has less dangers than meat, but that is not the case. The following link speaks of some of the lesser know dangers of unfermented soy products.

http://www.westonaprice.org/soy/index.html

Here is a summary of some of the harmful effects of soy:

Confused About Soy?--Soy Dangers Summarized

1)High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children.

2)Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth.

3)Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women.

4)Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.

5)Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body's requirement for B12.

6)Soy foods increase the body's requirement for vitamin D.
Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein.

7)Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.

8)Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods.

9)Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys


These 9 examples reflect the dangers of unfermented soy products such as tofu, soybeans (edamame), soy flour, soy milk and especially soy protein isolates.

If you have a thyroid disorder and are using soy, you are creating a serious negative effect in your body. I know this for a fact because I have experienced it myself.

I have held back on sharing this information because I know it will be controversial. However, I consider it my responsibility to pass on information that can point people to a healthier way of living.

I do not mean any disrespect towards anyones point of view, but I cannot have someone stating that soy is 'healthy' when I know it is not.

Hello Violet,

You are correct in your observation that red meat may not result in the conversion of estrogen. It is the same with everything else used in BE including linoleic acid. There are no guarantees for any of it. The best anyone can do is to try to figure out what works and how to apply it.

Too much estrogen can shut down estrogen receptors before you can even start to develop. While true, it is irrelevant to the discussion of meat. You cannot overdose on estrogen by eating meat.

To say that vegetarians/vegans have no problem with the conversion if linoleic acid to AA and then use that as a reason not to eat meat in moderation is illogical. It is more efficient to get AA (or anything else for that matter) from direct sources as a first priority.

I did not see any attempt to explain why my informal survey showed that women who ate meat (eggs are included) grew and women who did not eat meat did not grow. Let's try it again here. I'll start the thread.

This is not to say that women who avoid meat and eggs 100% of the time cannot grow (not talking about puberty here). I just have not seen it. Show me a woman that grew three cup sizes after age 22 with no meat or eggs and then we can talk about how it might have been accomplished and how to apply it to all. I'm not saying it can't happen. I am saying that I have not seen it.

You said, "I would never want to cause the suffering of other sentient beings"
yet your speech and delivery to your own fellow human beings could be construed as giving much suffering. As humans, our sharpest sword is often our tongues. Words cause more suffering in the human race than any other thing, imo.

I just don't think one opinion is 100% right or 100% wrong. What I stated about U.S. meat and milk extends also to eggs. Monsanto as you might already know hid the truth about the hormones they sell to cattle and milk producers for a very long time. When some investigative reporters from Fox News of all places uncovered the truth and shared their findings with independent scientists, these scientists found these hormones would create dangerous carcinogenic effects in those who ingested it them. Basically you are dying a slow death by eating U.S. mass produced meat and milk. It is a long story, but Monsanto is a huge company, who also has attempted to monopolize the seed industry throughout the world. They have a shaking hands relationship with our government and other governments throughout the world. The only reason we still ingest these hormones is because Monsanto intimidated the parties involved into manipulating these findings. Information was agreed to be released with every word that said "cancer" or "carnicinogenic" crossed out, as well as anything else that made Monsanto look guilty or their product undesirble. Canada took these findings and their own scientists and came to the same conclusions, and now ban these hormones. Monsanto is a very, very powerful cooperation just because people agreed you can still buy milk that was produced by keeping a female cow on these dangerous hormones to constantly and unnaturally produce milk for the purpose of mass production does not mean it is safe to ingest. The seed Monsanto sells contains fertilizers that will also affect the ability of your hormones to function normally. I think my health is more important that growing large breasts, so if I am going to eat meat or drink milk, I will look into how it is produced. In this day of age, you have to be a concerned and cautious consumer. By saying that everything causes cancer, you just are not helping yourself. Cancer cells and foods that react with cancer cells in the body are abundant. But there is a huge difference in measure that people should consider.

I am not vegetarian, but I know plenty of girls who were vegetarian throughout their adolescence that grew normal, healthy, even large breasts. Many of them. Maybe the food YOU eat is gross, but I KNOW where my food comes from. I consider it the greatest investment I can offer myself. And as a woman, I put the health of my breasts before the size of my breasts. Eat animal products, just know what you are buying into.

I'm not Wahaika, but strawberries are one of the most toxic fruits due to modern growing practices. The majority have been shown to contain residue from up to 30 different pesticides and potential carcinogens, like captan, and this is coming from the FDA. Organic is much better, of course, but harder to find and the rules aren't strict enough, in my opinion. Some organic crops still end up with pesticides on them when tested, from "drifting". I don't know whether other people would consider intentionally covering food with carcinogens "gross" per se, but I do.

Another thing to worry about is that strawberries absorb some of the pesticides and fungicides into their flesh, so it can't be removed with a cleanser like you can do with apples and other produce with a firmer exocarp . I'm not a fan of meat either but can find something gross about most foods, given the way they're handled nowadays.

Just wanted to point that out in the interest of fairness. I really don't understand the nasty attitude that some people take on this board at all.

There are quite a few large strawberry patches around here, and word has it that the field workers will relieve themselves on the strawberry plants rather than coming in from the field. If that isn't gross, I don't know what is. ;-P

Hhahah okay, but strawberries aren't sentient beings that feel pain, anger, fright, attatchment, fear or any of those very "human" emotions. Pumping up a plant full of pesticides and hormones is very different from pumping up a living being, as is it different if you were to take a piss on say, a baby pig. =/

I just want to point out how arrogant and heartless it was of the person to say that all foods are equal/alike in the way we cultivate them. And how empty they are to consider animals as simply "another food item".

Seriously----shame on you.

this thread was to the discourgaed girls-how far off can this topic get????
Nobody seems discouraged just hungry.
*no disrespect for the original thread bless her i think it was nice to offer the support and encouragement,shame it trsanspired to somthing else

A few things.
*Its always great when so many people do reaserch, i love to read through peoples findings regardless of the thread/cause/argument its thaught provocing

*dangerous Strawberrys-ilmao
next there will b killer carotts

*bitching-ilmao, people who r finding alescets coments bitchy etc-you havent been here that long she is so funny,it livens things up-
Yep from other posts iv read u/she has one heck of a problem with meat-but i have a major problem with many things dosent make a view right or wrong.

*And im sorry but not all foods r equal does a potatoe feel any pain ever?

*People choose wether they eat meat, people choose if they dont-no one can ever say that a choice was wrong unless confronted with a health issue in latter life can they say they made the wrong choice.

*Im going to keep eating meat as i always have, my meat has never given me boobs so i doubt it will now.

*i think, and im the same as well , we all look at every possible thing that could have made us smaller than "normal" or not as big as we hoped,anything to find out why,when u want somthing so bad,i ask myself questions all the time but i dont think we are qualified to explain why,yes we can speculate but its a never ending discusion.-lets face it we were given small tits n we want bigger ones simple

*can't we focus on what is and how the hell we are going to get bigger-and im talking herbs/creams/massage etc here not arguing about food

I encourage everyone who has the guts to bitch. I am so sick of this society in which we have to constantly watch out for our words, to not '''insult''' someone, to not hurt someone's feelins, we can't even state our oppinion anymore. I'm disgusted at how 'PC' (politically correct) this world has become. I'm disgusted that the society expect us to be nurses to other people's feelings. If one gets insulted by someone's oppinion - prove them wrong or admit being wrong. Deal with it! I'm not going to be quiet, I'm not even going to chose words, I'll bitch all I want and if someone can't take that, their ****ing problem!!! If someone can't take it, they are inapt to live in this world and they can can either shut themselves into a closet and make sure no influence from the outter world gets to their fragile little soul, or they can bloody grow a spine and a skin.

Oh, and to the person who thinks that words cause more suffering in the human race than any other thing, I'd be interesetd to know what milions of people on this planet who have suffered poverty, starvation, wars and genocide would think about that.

Having said that, I have absolutely nothing to say against the original post. It is all very valuable information. But we all know that there isn't a golden formula for breat growth.

Perhaps we should take all the money we spend on BE and give it to the poor.

Huh, I'll go against my own principles now in choosing words carefuly, because I know this is a NBE forum and not a political discussion forum, when I'll say: think again. In brief, you are very wrong. It's not people's 'greed' that is causing poverty, it's people's ignorance. You wanna know what's the biggest cause of poverty? It's exactly that which you are proposing - help. Oh no, it's actually '''help'''. That's right, money given to poor coutries as '''aid''' by the developed coutries of the west. Because the poor see maybe 10% of that money, and even that is disastrous for their country's economy btw. But you know where the remaining 90% of that money ends? In the hands of rich dictators financing civil wars and genocide. That is the west's wonderful help, the 'solidarity'. This goodly righteous moralizing activism that screams ''we have to help!, we can't be selfish!, it's our duty because we are priviledged!, we have no more right to live as the poor do!, we have no more right to our property than the unpriviledged do!'', - this is nothing but a hypocritical cover for people to pat their own backs and feel good about themselves cuse they 'did the right thing', they'helped'. If they actually gave a crap about poverty, they'd ****ing learn a bloody damn thing about it.
And the claims you made are the mentality that feeds this ignorant activism - you said that poverty is our fault, because of our 'greed'. Well I am a huge opponent of this guilt mentality, this irrationalist mentality, this self-loathing death mentality that screams that becasue we are rich and fortunate, we should appologise and sacrifice and renounce and punish ourselves and die for the 'unprivileged'.

carol ann...I had a bit of trouble answering this thread. At the beginning I wanted to thank you but then I realised...you give sort of a false hope to girls here. I have always eaten loads of eggs, milk, meat, veggs,fiber and everything else that is considered healthy. I have never had nutrition problems and I am not skinny (though i'm not fat either...i'm normal to say so) and i am and have always been an A cup. I strongly believe nutrition has nothing to do with breasts. yes, i know tiger lily and her succes...but you must not forget that she was very skinny so a few pounds more couldn't hurt her. I followed her programme based on the right foods for 3 months but besides gaining weight nothing happened...no boobs whatsoever. I stopped because I would have gained more weight. food-based booby diets only help you to gain weight. some ppl gain weight on thir boobs as well, this is why this thing has come to be thought as a boobie-diet.
I am by no means an expert, just wanted to share my opinion.
On a second thought ,thanks anyway because of your good will to help others.

Re: To the discouraged girls

I think that specific nutrients relate to a person trying to grow breasts in the same way they would relate to a body builder trying to grow muscle. The nutrients do not work on their own, but they are essential to the building process. For instance: a man who wants to gain muscle can eat all the protein he wants and not gain a single pound of muscle. He has to lift weights in order to do this. And if he lifts weights without supplementing that with increased protein (among other things,) he is not going to grow much. As people trying to grow boobies, we must take in the correct nutrients in order to allow our bodies to build the tissues which our NBE efforts are signaling them to grow.

Re: To the discouraged girls

Hmm... Well to clarify I suppose, the reason why I originally posted was because Carol Ann (despite altruistic reasons) posted something that was scientifically unfound and that basically said you need animal flesh/byproducts to grow breasts. That is essentially what she was saying. I don't know if I should even list the reasons why this upsets me because there are so many (and no, none of them are "aw but the poor wittle animals!"). However, one thing I thought was just "Oh great. Now half the women who read this are going to have steak tonight. The exact thing I'm trying to change in the world".


About poverty and starvation... I think we all sometimes feel guilty instinctively, but I agree with Moon that we have nothing to feel guilty for. The cycle of poverty is one of the hardest things to break, and for someone who's halfway across the globe it's just not in our hands. It's the government's... As for starvation---much of the starvation in the world today (or so I was informed in a class I took last semester) is due to there just simply being too many people on earth, and too many of them live too well. 6.6 billion people on are on the planet right now, we are quickly reaching 7 billion. Imagine that... it's just too many people.

The only thing we do by continually sending over food and things to these people is not much. It is spread out so thinly (since as Moon said only 10% reaches them) and there are so, so, so many poor and starving people in countries like India and China that all they get is a meager sum that simply keeps them alive, but not from prospering. It just continues the cycle, does nothing to break it.

I'm going to say something now that will really piss off some people, but this is what I learned. We basically need to limit our populations, especially of those in third world countries. We should be sending over birth control, and education on birth control and of having less children, we will never see an end to the starvation if there are so many of us. The earth simply can't support so many of us. Especially when in countries like America, we use so much of her resources, there just isn't enough left over for everyone else. If we tried to get people in third world countries to live like us we would run out of resources so fast our heads would spin.

I could talk about these things for hours, there's simply too much information to wrap your head around, the thought that there are too many people and that we need to "cut back" so to speak on our birthing rates is sad to come to grips with. It really is but it's the truth. I don't think humans were ever meant to permeate the entire globe the way they have. And that is why half of us are hungry...


And I just want to say to Moon that I think you're amazing. =) I'm glad there's another like-mind out there.

I don't think Carol Ann is sending out anymore of a false message than anyone else who has grown with a certain herb or product and shared the knowledge or experience here. Some people do and don't grow with massage, but should we say that those who recommend it are giving a false sense of hope? She was just sharing what worked for her.

As far as food is concerned, even if you're a vegetarian you're still harming sentient beings, most likely. Farmers use pesticides and chemicals that kill bugs and other animals to produce the vegetarian diet. They also use threshers and other machinery to harvest and grow the product, and I think we all know that that equipment can deal a nasty death to any animals that get in the way. Not only that, but to get most of that farmland we had to kill any animals and wildlife that was there to begin with, so there's the ecological concern too. So I think you could pretty much lay a guilt trip on almost anyone, unless you live in a field in a hut made of grass and sticks (you know, since the wood and land for houses kills trees and animals and displaces wildlife) AND grow your own food, with no chemicals, and hand pick it yourself. Is anyone here willing to do that? Show of hands? Because in all honesty, even those who supply the vegetarian/vegan diet have to worry about profits, so it's not feasible to get by without the modern equipment and techniques if you're running a business and supplying mass amounts of food. I'm just saying, if people are going to lay guilt trips on others for eating meat, you know, it can swing back the other way too.

I won't say that I know as much in depth as you about the subject...but I do agree.
I was thinking more of how the poverty started in the first place...long ago...with someone putting themselves above another...in their selfishness and greed...people wanting more than any one else...etc.

Plant Rights!!!!

Ok girls...I just can't resist posting this...just for the record...my sister in law is a devout vegan. This is just for fun!

The Vegetarian's Nightmare
(a dissertation on plants' rights)

Ladies and diners 1 make you
A shameful, degrading confession.
A deed of disgrace in the name of good taste
Though I did it 1 meant no aggression.

1 had planted a garden last April
And lovingly sang it a ballad.
But later in June beneath a full moon
Forgive me, 1 wanted a salad!

So 1 slipped out and fondled a carrot
Caressing its feathery top.
With the force of a brute 1 tore out the root!
It whimpered and came with a pop!

Then laying my hand on a radish
1 jerked and it left a small crater.
Then with the blade of my True Value spade
1 exhumed a slumbering tater!

Celery 1 plucked, 1 twisted a squash!
Tomatoes were wincing in fear.
1 choked the Romaine. It screamed out in pain,
Their anguish was filling my ears!

I finally came to the lettuce
As it cringed at the top of the row
With one wicked slice 1 beheaded it twice
As it writhed, I dealt a death blow.

1 butchered the onions and parsley.
My hoe was all covered with gore.
1 chopped and 1 whacked without looking back
Then 1 stealthily slipped in the door.

My bounty lay naked and dying
So 1 drowned them to snuff out their life.
1 sliced and 1 peeled as they thrashed and they reeled
On the cutting board under my knife.

1 violated tomatoes
So their innards could never survive.
1 grated and ground 'til they made not a sound
Then 1 boiled the tater alive!

Then 1 took the small broken pieces
1 had tortured and killed with my hands
And tossed them together, heedless of whether
They suffered or made their demands.

1 ate them. Forgive me, I'm sorry
But hear me, though I'm a beginner
Those plants feel pain, though it's hard to explain
To someone who eats them for dinner!

1 intend to begin a crusade
For PLANT'S RIGHTS, including chick peas.
The A.C.L.U. will be helping me, too.
In the meantime, please pass the bleu cheese.

alcest do you really expect to sway people over to your OPINIONS? I can agree with your one opinion on saying there is too much population on the earth that should be better controlled but however I have no idea how that even would relate to the matter of BE. Forcing your opinions and expecting others to RESPECT any of your opinions is really foolish. If you want to force yourself onto people, go work for PETA as I don't think this is the board for animal rights. You are extremely immature cursing out the original poster for eating meat. I am sure you hate all people who eat meat. Good for you, go pat yourself on the back for offending other people. I have no problem with people whether they eat meat or are vegetarians but I would never force my opinions on anyone as you seem so capable of doing.

I for one am an omnivore :p I really however do think it's easier to grow with meat. I think though if you're a vegetarian and eat alot of PROTEIN foods such as soy, beans, and possibly eggs or organic milk you'd have a better chance depending on what types of foods you eat as a vegetarian. It all depends on balance I think whether you're an omnivore or herbivore. Vegetarians would have a much harder time trying to get all the nutrients as you would though with someone who eats both. I'm sure it's possible for vegetarians to have success with BE but it would really depend on what you eat. Like if your a veggie and eat lettuce I highly doubt you'd have success with BE unless you have more of a variety of beans, tofu, some veggie burgers, etc.

Hello ladies,

It has been a long time since I have asked anyone these two questions. I would like to see if anything has changed and begin the discovery of how mature women can grow breasts while completely avoiding meat, milk, or eggs. This includes beef, chicken, pork, milk, eggs. It is my observation that it has not been done.

Q1: How many cup sizes/inches did you grow?

Q2: Did/do you eat any of the above mentioned animal products? Which ones?

Thanks!

Wahaika

P.S. If you want to discuss this thread, let's do it in another thread. Please leave this one to responses to the questions, only.

I used to be a vegetarian during my teens and now I occasionally eat meat, but only one or maximum two times a week. My NBE attempts DID NOT work. I do take protein shakes and eat lots of cheese, so there's certainly nothing wrong with my protein intake

Good luck with your research,

Q1: I've grown over 5 inches (from 32" across naked breasts to over 37" across naked breasts).

Q2: I eat a lot of red meat (sometimes 5 times a week). I also eat chicken, pork and eggs. I drink whole milk.


Edit to post: I would like to add that I've not gained any weight. In fact, I've lost a few pounds (about 5 lbs). Over the last few months, I've made a concentrated effort to gain more muscle and tone by working out more at the gym. I've had my body fat measured and have lost several points of body fat through my current gym program.

I've grown about 2 inches in about 4 months. This is translating to about one cup size (went from a B cup to a C cup).

Prior to starting NBE, I ate meat, but only chicken and fish. Since starting NBE, I have been eating beef several times a week (as much as possible, really, even though I don't like it). I've also been drinking whole milk and making protein shakes with whole milk.

Intuitively, I feel that for my body heavy building block foods are necessary for NBE. However, I have to add that I have also gained at least 6 pounds, and have gained a lot in my butt, thighs and tummy, as well as in my boobs. So, I think that I may have to accept being curvier all over, although I do plan to increase my exercise regimen to try to tone these areas.

I'd like to add though, that all bodies are different, so what works for me isn't necessarily right for everyone.

Thanks for the survey, it's interesting.

a poorly designed survey, i hate to say. there just aren't enough complete vegetarians to either prove or disprove your hypothesis... on this forum by the most generous estimate 3-5% of all users may be vegetarians. then, of women who visit here not all that many have had significant growth - maybe you'll have 10 or so women say they've had significant size increases. now if we assume just for a second that among growers the same percent are veg as aren't, what's 5% of 10 women? 1/2 a woman?

Haven't measured lately, but at last measure about 6 weeks into NBE I had gained half an inch. I've gone from an A cup to a B cup so far. I do eat meat, mainly beef and chicken (lean for both) and occasionally pork. I also eat fish. I drink non-fat milk and I occasionally eat eggs.

*of interest: when my daughter was around 1 year old I noticed her breast tissue always looked puffy and I asked her pediatrician about this. He said that it's common to see and is thought to be due to the "hormones" in milk. He suggested that I transfer her to organic milk, and when I did the puffiness disappeared. This could indicate that partially due to hormones in the meat and dairy we consume breast tissue can grow? But there's validity to the point that it's the protein and some fat, etc. that's contributing to the growth too.

I've grown 3 inches since starting NBE and I never eat red meat, cheese, milk or eggs......oooh gag!!

I do eat lots of oily fish such as sardines, nuts, seeds and quorn which I guess are all high in protein, as well as green leafy things and salads.

I don't think that synthetic hormones found in the mass produced food chain can be good for us in the long term. But then that is another debate.

way to go fairiecat! i also eat sardines all the time, and other sources of non-animal protein. I have grown in less than three weeks by about an inch, and i eat no red meat or eggs. that is just because i do not like them. and yes fairiecat - mass produced agriculture and meat production is another debate that I wish more people were aware of. I agree with the vegan poster - this survey is too limited to really give us a sense of the lack of effectiveness in nbe in avoiding animal products or vice versa. There are far more meat-eaters than vegetarians on this board, and on any board besides perhaps one about animal rights or vegetarian receipes. Most of my female friends have been vegetarian since early adolescence and happen to have DD's. There just may not be enough vegetarians on this board to give an accurate portrayal. I barely eat meat, but I do on occassion and have experienced measurable growth already. And by on occassion, I mean maybe once a month, and it is never red. I do eat fish several times a week.

Q1. I have grown a full cup size.

Q2. I followed a high protein diet, but more milk and cheese than meat or eggs. I'm not sure that this was helpful, but how can you know for sure one way or the other?

Well if genetics played such a great part, I should have massive hooters....lol.

My mother has, sisters have, nieces do, both grandmas did......all non meat eaters with small frames.

Before finding vitex, I was always plagued with troublesome skin. I used to joke that when the body parts were being allocated, I joined the wrong queue assuming they were dishing out tits and not zits *big sigh* lol!!!

I recall a study done years ago where they concluded that women with bigger breasts had lower IQ's and that small breasted women were smarter by far. I quite liked that study......lol!!!

whoa! i want to see this study! (i hope we don't find some study out there that says nbe causes a dip in iq points :/). it would make me feel better after reading some crap on the internet about how men are more attracted to women of average to below average height since i am 5'9"! never thought about my height before and always thought of being tall as a really good thing. this stupid study said taller women had more difficulty reproducing. i don't know about that. my family is from the mountain range that runs across southeastern europe - slovenia, croatia, serbia, montenegro - and they are the tallest people in the world. taller than the dutch. my brother is 6'6". from what i've seen, i don't think people in that part of the world have any problems reproducing. or the dutch. i think i'll choose to pick and choose which pseudo-scientific studies i want to believe and not believe based upon where i fit in the picture!

Perhaps a more accurate survey would be one asking any vegetarians to speak up and say if they grew on NBE or not. Veggies who already have big breasts are a different animal, so to speak.

I've been around for about a year and a half and have read this forum extensively. I have not read of a vegetarian who grew on NBE. But then, I don't know if any of them made a concerted effort to increase their protein intake. I suppose the only option for a veggie adding significant of protein would be soy protein isolate, and soy's effects on BE are questionable.

q1. I'd say maybe 1/2" on the sides, in general they have filled out quite a bit. But I have gained weight too, at least 6lbs.

q2.I eat pretty much everything: red meat, white meat, fish, soy, eggs ... even sugary stuff once in a while. . Never drank much milk in my youth and still don't drink, as it doesn't seem to agree with me. I'm 5'6, all women in my family are a lot shorter.

I'd like to add the following:

My maternal grandma spent her youth in a village where they'd only eat fresh fish, when moved to the city, she started eating meat, the only thing she gained, in her own words, was disgusting, painful, pimples. She had always been a C cup.

My parternal grandmother never had more than a A until she had her second kid, then went to a B. Went to a DD with age, and weight (obviously).
I was a vegetarian in my late teens for 2 years 8I'd still eat eggs once per week, though). I have always been fairly thin, so I'm not too sure if it's a matter of development or just not getting the right tweak in hormones in a way that fat distribution contemplates the breasts a bit more.

What i do know is that after a certain age around 19 they have shrunk a bit, and more of my weight started going more to my bottom half, mainly: hips/butt/thighs/knees. I was a vegetarian for 2 years, since I was 16-18, and during that time I was a lot more thin, and my boobs were much more fuller, they'd stand out, although never being big. I think they have achieved that size now...but my bottom half can't be compared, although I can no way near say I'm fat. Only less proportionate.

Edit:

I'd also like to add, that -okay, this may be completely BS but- there are so many asian women that are so tiny and have B cups, as far as I know, in those countries soy is eaten a lot. So it can't be that bad for NBE, considering they don't have much fat and are quite proportionate...might be it's just me though.... since ideally I'd like to get to a large B without putting more weight in my bottom half.

I became a vegetarian when I was 14, and before then I was completely flat as a board. It wasn't until I was 14 or 15 that I grew any boobs at all. As it is, I'm the most well endowed of any of the women in my family, and I am the only strict vegetarian. I just started my program so I can't say if I'll have any success or not, but I do think it is ridiculous to say that NBE will not work for vegetarians. There are many, many reasons why you don't see many vegetarians who have success stories. For one thing, most people are NOT vegetarians, so the chances of finding a veg. who is doing NBE is small. Second, NBE doesn't work for everybody. Of those for whom NBE DOES work, very few will see fantastic results (ie. growth of 2 or 3 cups or more). Many factors are at work, and I doubt there is enough evidence to suggest that one has to eat meat and dairy for NBE to work for them. As long as the person eats a healthy diet and gets enough protein and iron, why should there be any problem?

i agree terissina. there is nothing out there regarding nbe that says non-animal sources of protein are insufficient or inferior for growth. i just think it is discouraging to those who live a vegetarian lifestyle to say that they aren't going to grow. there is nothing to substantiate that at all, and the person who created this thread made it quite clear in another post that that it is their belief that vegetarians cannot grow with nbe. so what is the purpose? this survey will be as biased as the person's opinion in regard to the question being asked. there are many good non-animal protein sources out there. walnuts have a great amount of essential fatty acids, which many people on nbe take in supplement form. i just think there are a great amount of non-animal protein sources, and those who do not eat meat and animal products should not be discouraged.

The opinion that vegetarians do not grow well on BE is not something pulled out of the air or something that came about because there are so few vegetarians out there. It came from someone who has been around NBE'ers a LONG TIME and who tries to help and encourage people and also tries to use evidence from people's growth to determine what works. To say "No no, this can't be true, it's not fair!" is to stick your head in the sand. Go read the hundreds of routines/stats on the BE Board. The vast majority of vegetarians who tried to grow have FAILED. Period. I know this, Wahaika knows this, and anyone who has read the BE Board archives knows this. You can speculate all you wish, but the evidence is right there.

If you are a vegetarian, by all means spend a few hours reading what these women tried. Find out what's missing and see if you can fix that for yourself. It may well be the difference between failure and success, and who knows- you might find the key for other vegetarians to grow well in the future. Wouldn't that be great?

Its good to see people exploring their theories so here goes
Q1-Iv grown abit no accurate messurments im afraid
Q2.i have always eaten loads of meat all kinds, black pudding and the whole shabang,eat eggs 2-3 times a week, milk-only in tea, cheese a couple
If genetics were to be right i would also have much bigger hooters-which i don't

But unfortunatly even though iv answered the question in my opinion i don't think the question works,its as relevnt as did you eat bean sprouts or haricott beans (both high in protein)?u would still find a percentage of people who grew/or didnt whilst eating either item but it doesnt determin anything
i agree that diet may factor in NBE and wether it will work but i think it is a major combination or alot of things-hireditary/Genetics/diet/processed foods/lifestyle/age/BCP/smoking/drinking/stress/mental state of mind/pregnency/breastfeeding (where applicable)/age began puberty/build/stats etc etc

and im sorry even though requested im not starting another thread to discuss another thread -im not trying to be disrespectful Wahika but it doesnt make sence to do that.

Thank you Wahaika for bringing this interesting subject up.

I think it is important to try and analyse what factors help growth, and what factors that make growth difficult.

If a vegan/vegetarian diet slows, or prevent NBE growth, it's good to find out. However, we have too few people here that are on a vegetarian diet to draw any conclusions from their results. I think it is equally important to find out if other lifestyle factors or food items can hinder growth.

This thread is not an attack on vegetarians - it raises an important question that we mustn't ignore. Wahaika is trying to help us find out and pinpoint the very things that affect NBE. Just keep an open mind to new ideas concerning NBE that might contradict previous beliefs, it is in your own interest.

Buffee look at faerycat, although she does eat fish, she's had significant growth.

And the reason I think so few vegetarians have had success is A) we keep being told we won't (it discourages us, remember much of this is mind over matter) B) A lot of us are on the thin side C) we don't get all the extra hormones and **** that are in meat and dairy these days. Which of course is good for us! Unless you want to grow breasts (unhealthily) and D) There aren't many of us! NBE is difficult for EVERYONE! Of course it's going to be difficult for veg*ns too especially if there's 1 out of every 10th woman here, our chances are lower, expectantly.

I am interested in finding out the truth too, whether it is indeed impossible to grow breasts on a vegan diet or not, but I don't like the attitude that some people have towards us, how we are berated (Waihika!) for simply being a vegan and trying to grow breasts. It's so discouraging.. I feel like we're being treated more as "guilty until proved innocent" rather than "innocent until proven guilty".

Well, I don't want to discourage vegetarians and I especially respect you, Alcest, because you seem to have done your homework. I just can't class Fearycat with veggies because she did eat fish. (Did she drink milk or eat cheese or eggs, too?) I hope that the people who choose to follow vegetarian or vegan diets will try to concentrate more on what they're putting into their body than what they are not so that they can grow too. And I really wish that if there was a vegetarian/vegan out there who grew even one cup size, that they would speak up and let people know what kind of diet they used during BE. That would really be helpful.

Keep in mind that it's not necessarily just hormones added to out meat that help us grow. If that were the case, the meat-eaters would have big boobs already. It could be anything. From certain amino acids to the ratio of protein to carbs in the diet. Who knows? I eat a meat that was raised by 4-H kids right where I live. Trust me, they don't inject them with anything or feed them special formulas. They eat what my horses eat, basically.

Arguments In Regards To Wahaika's Survey

The arguements that seem to be forming on here seem to be so unneccessary! The debates concerning whether or not one can grow depending on their diets...To eat meat or not etc.
I don't understand why people are getting upset. We are all here to help each other out, including Wahaika. I have read many of his posts and I know he is interested in the science of this BE stuff. He has done extensive research and is an intelligent man. I have not found any of his posts to be offensive.
They're all in good intentions.
I can understand people wanting to debate topics.
I can understand we are all different.
What I don't understand is the anger that comes in someone using facts to try and understand the outcome. Like Blessed stated in one post, I like caffeine, but I am certainly not going to get all fired up if someone does a survey on how many have used it and had growth and how many have not. In fact, I think it would be interesting.
I totally agree, we all have the arfreedom of speech here. If we want to be able to express our opinions then we should let others express their opinions also. Each one of us has the same right/priveledge to be on this forum as the next, provided we do not become abusive in our posts.

No!


You really don't get it, nor do you know anything about veganism or what we're trying to accomplish. That's your problem right there. Ignorance. The both of you. My choice in being a vegan is not nearly as light or shallow as choosing to drink caffeine or not!

There are many reasons why a person chooses to become a vegetarian/vegan. A lot of times it is for moral reasons, not strictly health reasons. It is an entire lifestyle change. Moreover, a vegetarian/vegan sets him or herself up for problems, mostly stemming from the ignorance of others. There is a real stigma attached with vegetarianism, and it is ignorant and insulting to compare it with something trivial like drinking caffeine. That is why people have been so passionate in the discussion in the other thread.

Now that we understand this, can we just drop it? Feelings were hurt, but let's move on. If someone said something to upset you, just try to ignore it (difficult though it may be).

I did not say anything about vegans or vegetarians, for all you know I am one myself. Wahaika was only conducting a survey for crying out loud.
But now I can see that it is the bullies that monopolize this forum.
I was wrong in thinking that people could be reasonable on here and look at BE as a scientific process. Why try taking a supplement in the first place if you think it is anything else? Why come on this forum at all if not to EXCHANGE IDEAS WITH OTHER PEOPLE?
Tiger Lily had posted her results concerning food. Food definately has a effect on BE. I don't think it's reasonable to become hysterical about doing a survery on it.

Alcest, I think you have serious issues. First you complain about your right to speak your mind and have an opinion, then you tell people to stop starting threads and, in another thread, to go away because they don't agree with you. Does this sound consistant to you? Fair? Logical? It's ridiculous and foolish.

If you want your choices to be respected, maybe you should practice what you preach. Choosing to not consume caffeine is not shallow, it's a health issue for some people, and even if it weren't, what's it to you? Why are you so quick to diss things that don't matter to YOU and demand people respect your choices? That is one-sided garbage. Why place value judgments on someone's dietary choices at all? It's pointless and funny, given your rants.

And before you tell me that I don't 'get' what you're trying to do, that I hate vegans, I have been a vegan or vegetarian for most of my life, since birth. I hate animal products. They do not benefit me at all, personally, but that's just it -- it's personal. I don't give a damn what you or anyone else eats. To each their own. But once you start demanding respect and being obnoxious and hypocritical, it defeats the entire purpose of the board. Maybe you should stop and think that perhaps people don't have an issue with your lifestyle -- maybe they have an issue with your condescending attitude.

This board is absolutely useless in terms of ever finding out any information at this point, because all it boils down to is ego and rudeness and you carrying on about how 'educated' you are without even knowing anyone else's background. Here's a thought: you're not the only person to have ever taken a class in something. I have no patience for people that think they can tell others to eff off and then carry about on lack of respect. It's plain stupid. You can't have it both ways.

I'm done here. Between your posts and the sheer stupidity of people complaining about big breasts, calling those with big breasts dumb, all all while working towards them, I think this board has run its course.

Waihaka doesn't scream and curse at those who are vegetarian while alcest seems to disrespect and put down anyone who eats meat and she doesn't back up her opinions with facts either. Not to mention all vegetarians don't due it solely because they don't like to eat meat. I know someone who likes the smell of meat but doesn't due to religion but otherwise would but she grew up that way. We don't need to have hissy fits here over who is vegetarian and who isn't. It seems like in any post alcest posts in she is extremely hostile and throws tantrums like a child with those who oppose her view. If she didn't curse and act so hateful I would have no problems with her views as long as she did so respectfully towards others saying something such as I don't believe your theory is correct "fill in blank here" instead of the *^***&^D OFF!! *rant rant*

People need to realize that freedom of speech goes in both directions. If someone has the right to say something, another person has equal right to agree, disagree or be offended and express it. There is another issue tightly rlated to freedom of speech and that it freedom to one's own oppinion. No one has the right to force their oppinions on others, so if someone finds sth offensive, it's their every right.

You all seem to have assumed all the wrong things about me. I do not "hate" meat eaters--- most of the people I know eat meat. I also don't think there is anything wrong with eating it. What I have a problem with is the way we cultivate it, with ignorance, and those who degrade veganism into simply "not eating meat for the hell of it" which is what I've been sensing A LOT on this board lately.

And wtf---bullies? Grow up. I don't even post here all that often. I'm just sick of being judged for being a vegan and others comparing it to things like drinking coffee. And I'm incredibly passionate about this, as I am about all things I believe in and when the things I love and hold value to are threatened I react accordingly. My heart is always on my sleeve and it's very hard for me to not get emotional about certain things but I would hardly accuse some one of having "issues" because of this.

The things that you guys have just said to me have been far, far worse and more hurtful than anything I've said thus far.


Can you all deny that vegan/vegetarianism was starting to be looked down upon here and some were saying that it's "impossible" for vegans to grow breasts. It's rubbish let alone incredibly disheartening to us, and i'll say what I said before--- it's like being a vegan was guilty before proven innocent,not innocent before proven guilty.

I just want us all to assume being a vegan is innocent and good for NBE until we have enough scientific data to back that up before screaming GUILTY! GUILTY! to it in regards of BE. And right now, we do not nearly have enough, as the majority of us eat meat/dairy and the vegans tend to be newbies. And we tend to be thinner, etc etc.

From what I can gather it is not what you say rather "how you say it" which is offensive. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but give them in a manner which does not come across so agressively. Take care.

I think the comparison of being a coffee drinker or a vegetarian is valid in regards to whether or not it affects a natural breast enlargement program. That's all. Yes, it is apples and oranges when you take it out of this context and look at it in a larger one. But that's not what was being considered. Whether or not it should is another story all together.

Claire: I see what you're saying. I do swear an awful lot, I'm sorry for that. And I do realize this board has a diversity of women of different ages and backgrounds and I probably shouldn't be so ...vulgar. All of my friends are pretty much men. (Metalheads to be precise) and I am incredibly used to having to scream and yell and swear in order to make myself heard and to get my point across and I see now that I don't have to do that here. Women are very different from men I should know that =P. I'm sorry. Though I won't take back any of the things I've said, I realize now that the way I said some of those things were a little too confrontational for most women, and for this kind of place.

The problem is your taking posts out of context and WAY too seriously. I could give a crap whether you are vegetarian or not. And they have organic and free range meat as well. Is that what you mean by cultivation? Calling people who eat meat ignorant isn't too nice either. Not everyone can afford a 20 dollar cut of meat so I'll continue eating whatever type of meat I please without people who are vegans look down upon people eating meat which is exactly what you are being really hypocritical about. Everyone has the right of freedom of speech but when you do so childishly with screams and curses no one is going to take you seriously. None of the people here eating meat were forcing you to eat meat and yelling at you for not eating it, but they were maturely stating their opinions on it.

Sure it's possible, but all he was trying to say was it is harder. Vegans can take soy protein drinks,etc. to supplement where meat is missing. I don't see anywhere where he even directly attacked vegetarians, but you just took it the wrong way and see everything as an attack towards you. Why don't we let this issue between vegans and people who eat meat drop. It's too ridiculous when posts like these pop up from people offended thinking everyone has a thing against vegans.

I wasn't calling people who eat meat ignorant. Just those who don't understand why it's wrong the way we raise our animals and berate the earth.

Please stop putting words in my mouth.

Would there be any interest in a proper double blind study?

I could write it up and put it on here for all of you to review. I am 90% sure that I could get backing from an herb company to sponsor it (publically or privately).

We would need a statistically significant number of participants times two. In other words, if the study group is 10 women, then the control group is 10 women. I was thinking that meat/non meat would be good. But it could be done by age or children (vs. none) or even by individual herbs vs. premix. Another possibility is BO vs. herbs or PM vs. herbs. There are a lot of possibilities depending on what you are interested in. I think the meat vs. non meat issue would be a good one. Participants would be assigned anonymous user accounts to protect anonymity and to make it possible to be double blind. The drawback for me is that I would have to post zero posts for the duration in order to avoid contamination.

Any thoughts?

Also, This is not to beat anyone over the head with. It is the first logical step in fact finding once there is an hypothesis. True?

Um, sounds good, I would participate. But... what's the difference? I mean, this experiment is already being carried out, only not officially.

Btw...
Wahaika, there's a few things I've been wanting to ask you for a while. I hear you are into NBE to help your wife on her growing quest, I found this quite amazing and inetresting. Did you by chance take interest in NBE also from professional reasons? And is your wife parhaps one of the women who have more trouble growing? Thanks!

eating lots of meat won't make you grow boobs nor will eating only veggies.The key is a good balanced diet combined with the herbs and massages,everything in moderation. don't forget to each his/her own!!! Happy Growing Smile

I would be interested in your study Wahaika. I am taking the PM so that would of course effect what group I would be in, but you could count on me to participate. If you want to rally the ladies it would be a good idea to post a thread inviting them to do the study because not everyone reads all these threads. A lot of ladies avoid the argumentative threads because they don't want to get caught up in it.

I am in. But you'll have to make clear distinctions on diet:

Meat eater = beef, pork, chicken, fish, or any other animal flesh

Vegetarian = no animal flesh but may eat eggs and/or dairy products

Vegan = no animal products whatsoever

There seems to be some ambiguity on this board as to what constitutes a meat eater and a vegetarian; ie. 'I'm a vegetarian who eats fish.' That's not a vegetarian!

^ To the person above: except it's not necessary to eat meat to have a good, balanced diet. This has been scientifically proven over and over again for the past 20 years. If you would like some sources I will get you some... And we don't eat "just veggies", I'm not sure what you meant by that but I just want to clarify. =/

And yes I agree wholeheartedly that a balanced diet is necessary for NBE! as is adequate protein (and yes, it's fairly easy to get adequate protein on a vegan/vegetarian diet).

wahaika - unlike another poster said, i think there are simply degrees of how much meat a woman eats in a day, a week, a month, even more than several months. there are people who basically eat vegetarian foods but do eat fish or other meat on occassion and do not consider themselves to be vegetarian. i am one of them. my favorite foods just happen to be vegetarian dishes, but i eat meat more than the vegetarian who decides to eat the thanksgiving day turkey.

so perhaps instead of dividing people into groups of meat eaters, you could look at dividing people into groups of how much meat is consumed in a week or a month. it wouldn't be too difficult to do. women could even keep anonymous programs or posts perhaps where they keep a sort of food diary, which would help even more with determining what types of animal protein we are consuming. that would include eggs and dairy products. then you would actually know what each person in the study is eating. if you created a post asking us to estimate how much animal protein, eggs, and dairy we consume in a week, i think that would account for the variance of animal protein people consume. instead of coming to a conclusion that may be incorrect (for example, you may conclude that meateaters grow more while not considering other sources of animal protein, or you may conclude that eating meat doesn't significantly affect growth while there are some people who do consume a lot of dairy or fish)then i think your study could yield some interesting conclusions. if you threw someone like myself into the meateater group of people who eat red meat three times a week, whereas i eat no red meat and usually only eat fish) then you could use me to substantiate that meateaters grow more, since i have grown over an inch in a month - and basically on a vegetarian diet using mostly soy and and fish as protein sources.

so i think there is a great variance in diet, and while you cannot account for all, perhaps you could find more people to participate if you created other subgroups to account for this variance. there is also the problem of most of us taking different herbs at different doses, as well as the fact that some who participate may be presently taking something that does not work for them, but may later find something that does. and that could sway findings in either direction. if we were all on the same herbal course, that wouldn't work either because that obviously isn't going to work for anyone either. so like most experiments of this sort, it will of course have limitations that will affect findings. but we could at least get an interesting representation of how animal protein in a diet affects growth. i don't think people are simply meat eaters or vegetarians, and i think there is a great variance, and while it is impossble to get accurate results while accounting for individuals with diets unique to them, creating more than just a control group and one experimental group would offer a more accurate conclusion. it is also doubly complicated since there are vegetarians and there are vegans - who consume no dairy or eggs. not eating meat but consuming dairy and eggs could have an effect on growth as well. so...ugh...there are so many variables to consider! i'm sure there is a way to consolidate these variables in a way that could offer helpful conclusions, but considering them all would be impossible. that is why i suggested perhaps having those who participate create a sort of food journal that could perhaps help with this problem. at least the information would be available to you. well...i would be interested in participating if the amount of animal products consumed per week or per month were taken into consideration. per month would be easy for those who consume meat regulary, and per month would be easy for someone like myself who generally knows how much meat i consume in a month. wow...this is long! i also think after this whole unfortunate "debacle" more vegetarians, vegans, and people who mostly eat vegetarian, would be more interested in participating if it wasn't just a vegetarian versus "meat and potato" eaters study, but rather took into consideration to a degree some variance of animal protein consumed. just my $0.02.

::yawn::

I'm not even a vegetarian and this subject is annoying the hell out of me... There's a fine line between expressing an opinion that may or may not be useful to someone, and state that vegetarians will not grow on NBE. I can't picture how can that be useful to anyone, if anything, it's just discouraging for vegetarians on here.

In regards to his supposed intelligence well, human curiosity and research do wonders! Maybe a few on here should give it a try!!

Frankly his theory merely based on the possibility of meat increasing estrogen levels is... well, fairly pointless. Doesn't make any sense in the slightest, in fact, he wasn't even able to explain it himself.

The only thing he did was to point out at arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that can be found in meats, eggs etc., but can also be produced by humans via linoleic acid (another omega 6). AA is important in the making of hormones such as testosterone. Testosterone can be converted into estrogen by enzyme aromatase.

I think anyone on this forum knows how to increase estrogen levels and if it all had to do with estrogen we would all have reached our goals. So far, the success rate among meat eaters is still low, there aren't enough vegetarians to establish a meaningful comparison.
Given all this, if someone can explain me the point behind his remark regarding vegetarians, and his enthusiasm regarding *RED meat, please do so.

*edited to add that small detail.

Edit2: Hahah that "study" would be interesting, the number of women alone (10) is very little to prove anything to begin with. And, to add some credibility to it try and find 20 (10 meat eaters, 10 vegetarians) women with at least similar BMIs. Weight gain must also have to be taken into account.

edit 3: "I think the meat vs. non meat issue would be a good one." -> Really, why? As far as I know the large majority on here are meat eaters and as far as I know, many are having little to no results. Smile
