Hi, I'm new here, so I just wanted to get people's opinions on what would be a good goal for me. Some things about me:

Currently: 34C/D, 20yo, 5'6", on an estrogen birth control pill

I want to lose some weight, probably about 25 lb. I also want to be very safe about any sort of supplements I take. I don't want to mess around with potentially dangerous side effects. What are some realistic expectations for my nbe journey, and where should I start?

Hi BreastPlease, welcome:....

I think many here would love to have what you have. seeing the king of bcp you're on I'd look into progesterone type supplements, Peggy has some nice info on natural ways to increase progesterone. A steady state of E means you shouldn't have to add extra phytoestrogens, which will compete for the same receptors, (estrogen receptor alpha ER-a, and estrogen receptor beta, ER-b) instead look at more ways to convert that process (synthesis of bcp). Luecine, biotin, Palmitate (coconut oil), both oral and topical, omega 3's for reduced inflammation, a cup of green tea daily. Cucumbers, lemons, avocados, fresh fruit, all organic.

Btw, your growth hormones start to drop after 25-26, so you still have some untapped reserves in the tank so to speak, look into amino acids to help addressing that. We have a wealth of info here, the search option tool is one of the best places for NBE on the web, it's like the google of NBE.

Good luck.
