Will I gain weight before my period?

Nowadays, more and more women pay attention to body management, and are therefore somewhat sensitive to their weight. No matter which stage of their body they are in, women always hope to have an impressive figure. Some women feel that they gain weight before their period comes. Weight gain during menstruation actually depends on personal physical condition. Some women gain weight during menstruation due to body edema caused by endocrine.

1. Before menstruation

1 to 7 days before menstruation, body fat will easily accumulate because progesterone begins to be secreted in large quantities. Therefore, in the few days before menstruation, the body will feel edematous, and during this period, the weight may increase by 1 to 2 kilograms.

2. During menstruation

The normal menstrual period is about 7 days. When the endometrium bleeds for several consecutive days, you will find that your weight has decreased. Therefore, many people mistakenly believe that they will not gain weight if they eat a lot of high-calorie foods during menstruation. That is just an illusion because the estrogen concentration in the body is low. In fact, you will still gain weight if you eat without restraint.

3. After menstruation

The week after menstruation is known as the golden period for weight loss, because the body's progesterone concentration is very low and the metabolism is relatively fast. You can control your diet to around 600 calories a day in the week just after menstruation, which will have a more obvious weight loss effect.

Whether it is before, during or after menstruation, a weight change of 1 to 2 kilograms is actually a very normal phenomenon. As long as you eat normally, exercise appropriately, and maintain physical and mental health, it is beneficial to your body and mind.

Women's menstrual cycle also affects their weight. Women often find that some days they lose weight faster and other days they gain weight. In fact, we don’t need to be so sad and happy at the same time. It is entirely the estrogen in our bodies that is causing trouble. Generally speaking, about a week before menstruation, due to the influence of hormones, the body will retain more water, and weight will increase at this time; while at other times the body's water level will return to normal levels, especially a week after menstruation, when the metabolism will generally be slightly faster and weight changes will be more.

Women may become irritable during menstruation, and their weight may increase due to the expansion of the uterus and breasts absorbing a lot of water, but everything will return to normal after menstruation. If you feel that you eat too much, you can lose weight within a week after menstruation. The best way to lose weight is within a week after menstruation.

Women's hormones fluctuate greatly during menstruation, which can affect fat burning. The last two days of menstruation and the week after menstruation are called the "weight loss benefit period."

Every time when your menstruation comes, you should pay attention to rest and relax your body and mind. Because of the secretion of hormones during menstruation, girls are always irritable and impulsive, so you need to calm down and have a good rest. Foods that you should avoid during menstruation include cold drinks, watermelon, cucumber, mung bean, loofah, white radish, etc., because these foods are cold and can cause dysmenorrhea. Even if these foods can help you lose weight, try to eat less!
