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?

    Hey, skinny girl looking for clarification: Do you need body fat for the breast tissue to grow or is it completely orthogonal?

      Not a doctor, but as far as I know, so long as you’re not completely starving yourself, you’ll develop both fatty tissue and glandular tissue in the breasts regardless of how chunky (or not) you are elsewhere. But excess fat is also laid down in the breasts, so if you’re overweight you’ll also have larger breasts.
