Cutting without boob loss?

[NaturallyRippedChick]

I have to begin cutting in a month or so for competition, and last time I lost my boobs (C to an A). Is there any way to prevent this from happening (short of implants)?

If you find out, you could make a fortune. Much of the breast tissue is made of fat, and it's nature's cruel joke that we should work out to improve our bodies and this is the FIRST place we lose the fat.

I've recently seen an ad in the various muscle mags for some special cream that supposedly prevents fat loss from breasts, but it's setting off my "snake oil detector" and I'm holding onto my wallet. I haven't heard of anyone who tried it (and wanted to admit it).

LMAO... FitFossil... I am an entertainment and infomercial producer. I've introduced many health supplement products. I had lunch almost a year ago with a VP from one of the top infomercial companies. I asked him what they were working on and he told me about their herbal breast enhancement pills and cream... and how he had advised his company AGAINST the project. He considered it pure fraud and believed it was going to have a very negative effect on their reputation.

Thanks for sharing. What a disappointment....

My publisher has been hitting me for years with the idea of doing a book about the level of fraud in the infomercial business and the health product industry. I keep telling her no one would want to read it... and she keeps telling me it would make a great comedy. (I also tell her if I write the book I'll never work again.)

I always wonder how all those "herbal breast enhancement" products make any money...

the thing is...people who buy it apparently are too embarrassed or lazy to return it...thats what i was told..hence they make money

Well,
They always get you with the fact that you can't refund the shipping and then you have to pay to ship it back & go through all the extra trouble .... so, once you buy it you're usually stuck!

It's a business that thrives on the "you're stuck" mentality. The vast majority of all health supplements are manufactured in only a very few contract facilities. (Like GSN or VitaQuest) These companies manufacture thousands and thousands of lines. It is horrifiying to talk to any of the people working in product development at infomercial companies. They always know next to nothing about supplement design and nutrition. They simply call the contract lab and get a bid on "... a new diet pill... all herbs and vitamins... we're gonna call it Herbal Fen Phen." Then the product is designed soley to be a cost efficent ratio (10x1 to 20x1) and it is shipped. If any of the ingredients have a feint resemblance to substances that have had scientific studies it is purely in name only. (i.e., a study is done on pharmaceutical grade avena sativa extract as an herbal alternative to Nicorette. Pharmaceutical grade extract cost $300 per kilo. Oat straw powder (also technically avena sative) costing $1.50 per kilo is used in the final product.) (This is an extreme example... but common.)

The very worst companies are the ones who try to convince people that they do extensive original research and only use the highest grade ingredients.

There are some very good supplement companies and lines out there... do date none of them are available at the retail level and they are all mail order only businesses.

I never order a new product online or by phone unless I've heard good things from reputable people ... people I know.
Other than that, I'll just buy from places that will give you a hassle-free refund.

It's sad how they manipulate people though.
My mom once bought some "magic diet pills" from a tv infomercial and I'm sure they sold her name & number cause she gets flyers and promotions in the mail ever other day for that sort of sh!t.
I guess they figure she was a sucker once, they can sucker her again!

Bingo. Mailing lists are a huge business... and once you are on you are on for life.

Even sleazier... I walked into a friend's office. Remaining nameless... he and his partner are listed as "...two of the top ten most influential people in electronic retailing..." He was calling everyone on his main client list to find out if they had been "served." It seems the FTC had received 205,000 complaints that after they had bought a product via infomercial... they were signed up and billed through their credit card for a $200 buyers club membership that they never requested or authorized. (205,000 x $200 = 41 million.) The case was settled when the client paid the FTC an 8 million dollar fine. No refunds were given. (41 - 8 = 33 million.)
