Which of these herbs cause weight gain?

I'm thinking of buying the following herbs:

fenugreek
saw palmetto
wild yam
dong quai
vitex/agnus castus
red clover

Does anybody know if those herbs cause weight gain? Because I personally love my size everywhere in my body (except for the boobs!) and would not like to gain weight.

saw palmetto

though i havent had any problems, saw palmetto is rumored, as is fenugreek.

you can substitute nettle root for sp and fennel for fenugreek, in theory.

you can also increase your fiber intake as well as keep exercising your tummy during your nbe to stave off the weight gain that may come from the herbs....

hope that helps!

Hi Boobies !!

In my personal journey the culprit has been fenugreek !!!! it may cause bloating, weight gain and lower blood pressure in some people ! Im one of those people. doesnt mean that will happen to you though 1 its trial and error! fenugreek is a great and strong galactogue thats why its included in so many nbe routine. for me personally I take fenugreek and fennel and if I start gaining heaps of weight I cut down on the fenugreek and compensate with the fennel.. hope thats of some help love jellyDeee...Ps good luck with your program...

ditto...it's fenugreek for sure, I think. I gained 6 pounds my first month, but to me it was worth it for the bigger boobs.

I think it's safe to say that the majority of us would like to not gain weight. Everybody reacts differently. Some don't gain weight at all, some do. I've been on WU since May, and I've gained over 15 pounds. It's not something I like or wanted, but that's what has happened. There is fenugreek in WU, and I'm also taking SP.
