I read somewhere,, actually it was a post made by gisela and she said boiled powder made into tea is stronger than capsuled power.. and it kind of makes sense, not that it won't work with just capsules because plenty of girls grew off of that already but it might have the ''carrot'' effect, like how carrots nutrition properties increase when it's cooked rather than when it's eaten raw.

Like Eve for example, she drank a lot of herbal teas and she had great results.. i don't think she took that long either!

So those that are stalling may want to try boiling the powder instead and taking it in tea form!

I also have a question myself for the herbal tea drinkers! if u normally would take 3000mg daily, do u just take that 3000mg and boil it, then just drink the tea and leave the stuff on the bottom?

Double-Ace, finally you're asking a question I know the answers to!

Eve didn't boil any of the herbs she just added hot water to the powder in a cup and left it for 10 mins.

I also asked about drinking the powder at the bottom and Eve said she left the tea for 10 mins before drinking then drank the liquid only and threw away the powder.

Whenever I've tried making the teas I've added a bit more water at the end and swirled it round to get all the powder thendrank that too which was probably a huge overdose and no wonder it tasted disgusting!

Well.....the teas were so bad I only took it 3x so I would say the pills did more for me as I was able to take more, I don't like tea at the best of times never mind the creepy black witch's brew you get when you try to make it out of red clover! I can really tel what works on me because I use suction but I think I got most feelings when I first started WU, when I took WU + individual herbs + oils and again when I started hypnosis. I'm not very good at sicking to things that don't show an immediate result!

I drank down some nasty teas before I ever started taking capsuled herbs for about a month or two... even though that it isn't long I didn't have any feelings what so ever. I used teabags that i bought at the storeh with boiling water and let them sit for very long periods of time (only to enhance the awful flavor of fenugreek more). Just thought I'd share.

Wait, I thought it took Eve 18 months to reach her goal. Or am I wrong?

She only took 2-3 months to get a visible / measureable increase. I'm not sure when she actually stopped growing / reached her final size but she was nervous about stopping the herbs so maybe she went on for a bit longer before she switched to maintenance, maybe she finished growing earlier.
