It can't believe it's been 9 months since I started BE in earnest. So far, I don't think Ive gotten any lasting results. My boobs have gotten a little bigger, but probably only because of my 10 pound weight gain.
I do have a few things to report, but nothing earth shattering. First off, I finally gave in and bought StHerb cream, but I haven't received it yet. I also bought flaxseed oil to replace my fish oil this cycle, and I also plan not to use wild oat this cycle. I doubt leaving my SHBG levels alone will make a huge difference but it can't hurt to try a different approach.
I plan to go on a very strict low cal diet until my friend's wedding 2 months from now. Im a bridesmaid, and Im pretty ticked at myself for gaining 10 pounds this year, so I decided to put weight loss ahead of BE for the next 8 weeks. Ill be eating nothing but non-starchy vegetables until then. That means no grains, beans, fruits, or peas of any kind. I'll only be eating genuine veggies, meaning the kind that toddlers spit out, such as spinach, asparagus, mushrooms etc. If I fail to meet the bare minimum protein intake necessary on any given day, I'll have a single serving of extremely lean animal protein like a cheesestick or small fat free yogurt. This diet will NOT be good for BE, and neither will the rapid fat loss. It may not make sense for me to continue my BE efforts for the next 2 months, but I just can't bring myself to stop now, before having had any gains. Im hoping that it will be possible to keep my current small A cup while going back to a 34 band, but even that goal may be wishful thinking.
