I'm not sure where to post this question...

I am wondering about the loss of breast tissue? The one place I don't want to lose inches is there. I would like to know what other women's experiences have been. I'm hoping that since the HCG is supposed to remove abnormal fat store and breasts are a normal fat deposit, that there will be minimal loss.


Thanks,

Actually, our breast do contain unhealthy fat cells along with the rest of the body and will get a little smaller. I went down two bra sizes and 1 cup size. But others have not seen any difference, so it is really going to depend on how your body has stored the fat cells.

While I can't comment on any changes at this point so early on in the protocol, I do recall that there is a reference in Dr. Simmeons book to large breasts being an indicator of a person carrying the obesity gene. So even if a woman or girl has lower than average body fat and happens to have average or larger breasts, he wrote that it was a sign that the tendancy exists in that individual. He also makes a somewhat startling evolutionary argument that men in certain cultures selecting for this trait of larger breasts in mates has increased the frequency of the obesity gene in populations even if the mother wasn't overweight.

Vanishing, you only went down two sizes and a cup? That I would be okay with. Last time I lost over 100 pounds, I went down 3.5 or 4 cup size and 4 bra sizes.

Greenwitch, I remember that about abnormally large breasts. But I wouldn't consider mine abnormally large, just ample.

He never mentioned what abnormally large is. When you consider that the average American women has gone up from wearing a 34B to a 36C in the last 50 years people are obviously bigger overall. His version in the 50's of large might have been the C, who knows?

Darn! I was wondering about this too. It seems like my breasts have shrunk just a little. They aren't as bulky in my bra anymore. :( Yeah this is the one and only area I didn't want to lose in. LOL!

I've noticed that my bras (especially through the cups) aren't fitting well now, so definitely it is coming off of the breast tissue too. Drat.
