BO gaining other than in Breast

I have been reading this site and lurking for a while.
Will taking BO cause me to gain in my hips or thighs? I have read on other sites that some of the herbal formulas will cause that. I really don't need any other weight in these areas.
Has anyone experienced that the breast enlargement remains after you have stopped the pills? I called and they said the gains were permanent.
thanks in advance for your replys. Rachael

i have been doing bo only about six weeks, but i havent had any problems with excess weight gain, particularly not in the hips or thighs... i also exercise fairly regularly, but i havent had to work extra hard or anything.
hope that puts your mind at ease!
hugs and good boobie wishes!

There are definitely women who have said that bovine ovary caused them weight gain. I would have to say that weight gain is more likely with bovine ovary than with herbs, because you're introducing estrogen into your body rather than the more balanced phytoestrogens that herbs provide.

I started BO and gained 8 lbs very quickly, when previously my weight was very stable. I'm sure that it must be the BO that's done it, as my weight has been pretty much unchanged for years.

Maybe all the weight gain is the protein drinks everyone is swallowing. I don't take protein (anymore) and I havent had any problems with weight gain. I've actually lost 15 lbs since I've been on BO without exercise.

Everyone is different - in fact, BO was the ONLY thing I didn't gain weight one. Fenugreek and red clover were particularly bad, especially with cellulite.
It's a good idea to maintain a diet that is very low in sugar and lower in starch. If you are doing the protein shakes, make sure you are taking one with no sugars in it.
