Will I gain weight before my period?

Female friends should all know that there are always a few days every month that are very annoying. There are not only a lot of troubles during menstruation, but also many dietary taboos. Some people say that it is easier to lose weight during menstruation, and the effect will be obvious if you seize these few days every month. Some people also say that they gain weight before their period. So is there such a situation? The editor will introduce it in detail below.

During this time, the body's metabolism slows down, weight will remain stable or increase, and you may become irritable, depressed, or inattentive. During this period, no matter how determined you are, it is not recommended to lose weight during this period. However, during the menstrual period, many women, due to their weak bodies, often use replenishing their energy as an excuse, and comfort themselves that they can eat whatever they want during this period without worrying about getting fat, and automatically become "unbanned for chocolate" during this period. This kind of thinking once influenced many girls who love to eat. They usually pay attention to dieting, but start to "indulge" themselves during menstruation, but still continue to gain weight.

1. Relax

Don’t be afraid of these days. Maybe if you don’t think about it deliberately, it won’t bother you. Maintaining a positive, confident attitude can help you cope with or even prevent some uncomfortable symptoms.

2. Eat less sweets

Sweets can make people emotionally unstable and anxious, so you might as well eat less sweets or not eat them at all, and drink more water and eat more fresh fruits.

3. Eat less animal fat

Animal-based recipes will increase the amount of estrogen, and you can eat some foods containing plant fats to relieve your pain.

4. Eat more fiber

Fiber helps the body remove excess estrogen. Eat more vegetables, beans, whole wheat, buckwheat and barley (which are not only rich in fiber but also contain a lot of magnesium), and you will get unexpected results.

5. Drink less alcohol

Alcohol can make headaches and fatigue worse and trigger a craving for sweets. So it is necessary to drink less alcohol.

In fact, female friends must pay special attention before and after the menstrual period. On the one hand, the body must have enough time to rest, and on the other hand, they must be able to control themselves in diet and not eat anything as casually as usual. In fact, it is normal for your weight to fluctuate before your period, and you don’t need to worry too much about your weight during those days. Everyone should remember what the editor introduced.
