Malina, yes I crave sugar!! Keeping that under control is one of the hardest parts of my NBE, when I began my herbal BE I decided to cut all caffeine/chocolate/sugar because I read here that too much of those can hinder results. Before that I used to drink 2 or 3 cans of Coke everyday, and I also ate a good amount of chocolate in the form of bars, donuts, cookies, always between meals, and chewed gum when I wasn't eating anything.
Now when I miss my sweets I eat those yogurts for kids "Danonino" lol, they're very sweet and creamy and have a good amount of protein. but I've noticed that since I'm eating so many dairy products my period comes with bloodcots. Not good.
Reading that Fenugreek is helping you with your cravings gives me hope, I'm also taking Fenugreek!
I'm thinking of adding Borage oil too. I was taking EPO but it seems it's bad for high androgens, while borage oil has an anti-androgen effect.
As for Wild Yam I started taking it a few days ago so I can't say if it's having any effect on my weight or not. For the moment I'm taking one pill (850mg) and seems it's treating me fine (no cramps, no headaches, mood is normal) and have some sensations in my breasts, which I haven't had since last week, but I guess it's too soon to draw conclusions. I'm also lowering the fenugreek dose, I want to find the dose of FG+WY which works for me (this can be so tricky...)
I haven't put on any weight since I started my herbal routine, in fact I dropped a bit of weight after changing my diet to no caff/no chocolate.
Can Wild Yam make you gain weight? I didn't know that.
