If PM and Maca are helping tell the body where to put the fat would it help to starve yourself and then eat a bunch of junk to gain weight? The thought being is that when you starve and then get food your body stores the fat, and with PM it would build the fat on your boobs.


Has anyone stopped PM for 3 days or more cold turkey and then shocked the body with a triple dose to try and stimulate or trick the fat deposits?

To answer your question, I've more or less done that several times, although not for that reason. I've gone from 1 or 2 x500mg straight to 6 x500mg at the beginning of the month for about 6 months in a row, didn't make any difference to fat deposits.

However in general I agree with Bryony, especially about bingeing and starving, that wont do your body any good at all. I started taking maca about 3 weeks ago and then after a week I realised that since I'm trying to lose weight, it was pointless taking something to gain it at the same time! As it is, I've lost about 6lbs in 3 weeks and I have about another 5 or 6 to go, which may not sound much, but it's ALL on my waist. I used to wear a tight laced corset all the time and when I get back to the 150-155lb range ( or below ), I shall start wearing it again - it may or may not be coincidence that I started to put on the extra 10-12lb when I stopped wearing the corset.
