Hi ladies,

I've been taking agnus castus for nearly two months to increase my progrestrone which will hopefully get rid of my bloating. I wan't to start a 1000 calorie diet on 1st of feb but Im wondering if a low calorie diet will prevent agnus castus from working properly. I know that restricting calories quite low can mess up your system and Im trying so hard to get rid of this bloating that Im scared to diet in case it prevents my bloating from going away or even worse mess up my hormones so much it bloats my stomach even more! Any advice ladies?

Thanx

Bump!

Are you just trying to get rid of the bloat or trying to loss weight too? Bloating can be a sign of excess estrogen and agnus castus/vitex can help balance that by helping your body produce more progesterone. However, vitex is not a fast acting herb and it does take a few months sometimes for some people to see results. Going on a low calorie diet will slow down your metabolism because the body thinks it's starving. With a low metabolism no supplements will work that well.

Try taking an aloe vera capsule after dinner once a day to help with colon cleanse and take some milk thistle for a liver cleanse to clear out excess estrogen. Eat many small meals 5-6 times throughout the day to keep metabolism high. Drink plenty of water to keep things moving. Hope this will help.

Keep healthy

Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve...

Thanks for the advice wonderbride. I thought going on a diet might be risky. Getting rid of the bloating is more important to me than losing weight. I'll lay off dieting for a while until my hormones are balanced again.

pilates-i was on WU and was like a bloated blimp,i do feel i gained alot of weight and i was full of gas(even gurgling .
Iv been on a break for 2 months but i started pilates before and it certainly helped me ,im still not down to my normal weight but the bloat has decreased.
I also drank plenty of water and herbal teas, lemon, camomile with raspberry and alovera with melon its very nice.(all twinings)
also i have colon clense pills, which i take 2 once a week and they do the trick if u know what i mean.
also from what i here adding cayanne pepper helps with weight gain, u could try it & u can get it in pill form.

i start AC on 1st feb so fingers xed for me, is it doing owt for u?

Hope this helps

I hope to see results with agnus castus soon. It's been nearly two months. I've heard it can take at least 3 months to see results.
