So this morning I got into my pre pregnancy jeans and they were big on me! *yes yes flame away 
* and I couldn't figure out what I had done differently to lose the extra inches until I realized maybe it had something to do with the fenugreek I just started taking again. So I googled it and lo and behold, it can help with weightloss! Here are some other benefits of it that I found as well

Boils, eczema, sunburns, abscesses and gout skin diseases can be prevented with the help of these seeds. You can feel whiteness on the face as the Vitamin C is present in the seeds.

But in exceptional case, milk may come out with slight different taste. Some studies suggest that the ability of women to produce the milk can be raised by more than 500% after taking this seed.

I'm on both and seem to not have super weight loss, or gain so I think they cancel each other out on this topic haha.
I've noticed this as well. Be really careful not to take too much or you'll be REALLY miserable!! I learned that the hard way lol! But supposedly it also helps you lose weight because it helps to cut your fat cells up somehow too. I couldn't find the article but I'll look for it harder later
