A member asked:
I'm starting back on the atkins diet. i'm having hot flashes right now. if i take black cohosh, will it slow down my ability to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Many articles list weight gain as a possible side effect of black cohosh. I tried to find how common this is & found one study showing 12% of women taking it reported weight gain. However. Most women gain some weight during menopause so black cohosh may not have caused it & may even reduce likelihood of weight gain!- see http://www.Herbs-for-menopause.Com/black-cohosh/black-cohosh-benefits.Htm.
