    What is wrong with a 32D?
    Do you keep track of your blood sugar?
    High insulin levels will take your calories and deposit them as fat on your body, even if you eat low cals and loads of fiber.
    Fat distribution is hormonally directed.
    Metabolism = hormones
    I'm not here to accept an assignment from you, do your own research.
    Incorrect again. There is no net fat storage anywhere on your body when you are in a caloric deficit. No matter what kind of garbage people like Fung want to claim. The insulin theory of obesity has been scientifically shot to pieces, it's a myth.

    So as it applies to the OP, eating fiber and/or influencing insulin levels will have nothing whatsoever to do with her goals. What she's trying to do can't be accomplished any way other than plastic surgery, despite what the Kardashians may lead people to believe.

    What do you think you just linked to?

    Please show the link to an actual study not just some one typing their own thou

    Actually not a terrible article, at the link. Completely unrelated to the point it's supposed to prove IMO, though. ;)

    OP wants to retain fat and lose fat at the same time, in a desired pattern that may not be her genetic predisposition. PP argues that fiber will somehow do hormonal magic, and result in loss of central fat with retention of fatty tissue in the breast, because estrogen (I guess; it was hard to follow).

    Article headline is clickbait; actual article describes something not exactly matching headline. Neither headline, nor article, supports breast fat/body fat/fiber/estrogen hypothesis.

    I'm betting on the plastic surgery hypothesis, myself. Also, I can't imagine why anyone would want to be like a Kardashian in any way, except possibly rich (if one could do it more ethically). But I'm old, so what do I know.

    I was answering back to hammerhead or anvilhead or whoever he is.
    He said "There is no net fat storage anywhere on your body when you are in a caloric deficit."
    So the article is an answer to that.

    Except it kind of doesn't. And it's just some guys opinion, not proof of anything. And I'll copy and paste the About the Author:

    well I can say when I was 140 lbs my boobs were the same size at 209 lbs. the only thing that changed with gaining weight and losing weight was band size cause I gained back fat when I gained. when I lost I lost the back fat. Im on a higher fiber diet, my boobs are still the same size. so fiber hasnt helped me out in anyway. oh and as for belly fat its one of the last 3 places I lose,so still losing there as well as in my hips and thighs. fiber hasnt helped with those things either.

    Fiber has helped bring my cholesterol down along with my low fat,low cholesterol diet and medication. but its taken me 5 years and still going and I still have a little belly fat,thigh fat to go. its coming off but it has nothing to do with the fiber. if you gain weight your boobs will grow IF they are mostly fat tissue. if they are whats called dense breast Like I have they may grow very little if any with weight gain. with weight loss you may lose some but if you are like me you wont lose any size. Im wearing the same size bras I was when I was a teen.
