Menstruation is a special period for women, and before each menstrual period, various symptoms such as chest tightness, stomach pain, back pain, etc. will appear. Many young girls also report that their weight changes before and after menstruation. Will weight increase before menstruation?
1. Women's weight does indeed increase slightly before menstruation: 1-7 days before menstruation, body fat is easily accumulated in female friends because lutein in the female body has already started to secrete in large quantities, resulting in edema in the days before menstruation. Therefore, women's weight may increase by 1-2 kilograms in these days.
2. Menstrual period: The normal menstrual period for women is generally around 7 days. Some female friends may feel weight loss when the endometrium bleeds for several days. Therefore, some women believe that they can eat large amounts of high calorie foods without restriction during their menstrual period without gaining weight. In fact, this is just an illusion, because at this stage, the concentration of estrogen in the body is very low. If one does not control their overeating, their weight will also increase dramatically.
3. After menstruation: The first week after menstruation is called the golden period for weight loss, as the concentration of progesterone is very low and metabolism is relatively fast at this time. This week, you can control your diet to 600 calories, which has a significant effect on weight loss. In fact, it is normal for female friends to gain 1 to 2 kilograms of weight before and after menstruation. As long as they have a normal diet, exercise properly, and maintain physical and mental health.
