I often receive messages from women online asking the same question, that is, “can I really indulge myself to eat during my menstrual period and really not grow meat? “I’m sure there are many women who pamper themselves this way. Every month when “old friends” come, they indulge themselves with food to treat themselves, thinking, “Anyway, the Internet also says, how to eat during the menstrual period will not gain weight! Is this really true? Today, we will reveal the secret for women friends. The legendary menstrual period is not fat, but it is just a good wish! Before menstruation, due to hormonal balance, progesterone rises, water retention in the body increases, breast enlargement and thickening of the endometrium, resulting in a significant increase in women’s weight in the days before menstruation. After menstruation, weight loss occurs due to lower hormone levels, breast reduction, endometrial lining and blood drainage, plus a decrease in body water. Therefore, it is said that “you can’t gain weight by eating anything during menstruation! “But this false rise and fall in weight, are physiological changes, one is the weight of the magnitude is not large, the second is that if you eat a lot during menstruation, weight will not only decline, but will make up for it. The menstrual period in the end how to eat, in order to harmoniously and “old friends” get along! During the menstrual period should eat more protein, iron, vitamin content of food. For example, tenderloin (preferably beef tenderloin), eggs, fish and other good sources of protein and control the intake of fat. Some women like to eat sweets and fatty foods during their periods, all of which can bring about weight gain. It is also important to take care to eat less salt during and before menstruation, as salt increases the problem of water retention in the body and increases body weight, which is not conducive to weight control.
