Title. Need to loose weight. Already going to be hard enough loosing weight in the first place but also keep getting a nagging thought that I’ll impede my breast development. Currently on HRT.
I know loosing weight for my health is more important than my breasts. Still hits me hard though that they won’t develop if I’m on caloric restriction. Am I being insane or uninformed?
For what it’s worth, I’ve been losing weight since I started transitioning and gaining boobs since I started HRT. So far I’m down about 40 pounds over almost a year and a half. Started HRT a little over a year ago. Chest development has plateaued a few times, but overall continues marching forward. The occasional delays have not been correlated with eating habits in the slightest. I’ve had the most consistent activity over the last 4-5 months, which roughly coincides with when I started deliberately calorie counting. I assume that’s a coincidence.
Incidentally, I’ve done virtually no exercise during this time, so it’s all diet driven.
Anecdotal, but I’ve been steadily losing weight since just before starting HRT, and no problems here :3
A starvation diet is probably not a good idea, though. Keep eating a good balance of nutrients!
Skinny girls can grow breasts. And it’s not as if eating to excess is going to make them grow faster (although higher body fat will make everything bigger).
