Any general advice? Don’t try x, or definitely look into y? Be aware of Z?

    You need to dress for the body you have instead of the body you wish you had.

    (In day to day life anyway)

      On a somewhat related note, I’ve read that hrt changes the distribution of bodyfat. Is that true? Less on the belly and more on chest and behind, like many other women?

        Yes, but only as you gain new fat. It won’t change body fat you already have much.

          Unless you lose that fat. I was overweight when I started hrt and then as I lost weight the majority of it first disappeared from my midsection. I feel like it resulted in me getting a feminine figure pretty quickly.( I did lose the weight quickly like 50+ pounds in a few months but I think that was from me stopping a drug that can cause weight gain.)

              Hormones do affect where your body puts weight. I don’t think eating is a good way to make them grow. It’s better to do glute exercises and how much your breasts grow is dependent on genetics. I’ve still had pretty good breast growth despite the fact that I am losing weight so I don’t thinking gaining weight is needed for breast growth.

                Ty for the answer :)

                I just meant, imagine, an back to an healthy nutrition with in parallel the taking of hrt.

          Yeah, that should go without saying. But still, it fascinates me how much hormones do. Estrogen sounds pretty fucking cool.
