Weighing oneself every day is a habit that many beauty conscious women adhere to. Women who are more attentive may notice that there are always some signs in their body before their monthly period. For example, breast tenderness, lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, etc. So, does weight gain before menstruation?
Women who have a habit of weighing themselves may notice a slight increase in their weight one week before each menstrual period, which may be overlooked by other symptoms as it is not obvious. However, due to the increase in estrogen levels in women before menstruation, there will be more water retention in the body, and metabolism will be relatively slower, resulting in weight gain. Women who have a habit of recording their weight will clearly notice this.
A week before menstruation, women's weight will increase slightly. During menstruation, a large amount of menstrual blood will flow out of the female body, and the metabolism of water will accelerate. After menstruation, women's estrogen levels will decrease, and their weight will also decrease significantly, with a general weight change of about 2 kilograms.
Therefore, for women who want to lose weight, breastfeeding should be done after their menstrual period. According to the changes in female estrogen levels, fat burning during weight loss will be faster and weight loss will be easier, achieving twice the result with half the effort.
