1, how to use menstruation to lose weight
1, the first stage: weight loss retention period (1- 7 days after menstruation)
During this period, the level of estrogen and progesterone in your body will be at the lowest point in a month, with hormone deficiency, slow metabolism and easy fatigue. At this time, you need to slow down your weight loss. Take care of your tired body and reserve energy for the next stage of slimming action.
2. The second stage: the peak period of weight loss (the 7th ~14th day after menstruation).
The seventh-14th day after menstruation is the peak of weight loss. At this time, the secretion of estrogen and androgen is strong, which will accelerate the absorption and consumption of carbohydrates, fats and protein in the body. As long as we seize this best period, we can lose weight easily and quickly. Therefore, the MM who lose weight should grasp it well!
3. The third stage: gradual weight loss (after menstruation 14~2 1 day)
Due to the increase of lutein secretion, the skin condition becomes unstable and the metabolic capacity gradually slows down from the peak. The closer to the late luteal phase of the fourth stage, the weight will enter a stage where it is not easy to lose, and all metabolism will start to slow down. Even if the weight loss plan is strictly implemented, weight loss will be quite slow.
4. Stage 4: Slow weight loss (2nd1~ 28th day after menstruation)
During this period, the secretion of luteinizing hormone in your body has risen to the highest point, and even tiny capillaries have the ability to penetrate protoplasm into cell tissue. At this time, your brain senses the loss of water in your body, and it will instinctively retain salt and more water, leading to your weight gain. However, this is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry about a small amount of weight gain.
2. Precautions for menstrual exercise
1, the exercise intensity should be reduced.
Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that the endometrium of mature women falls off periodically. Endometrial shedding naturally leads to trauma and bleeding, so women's bodies are in a relatively fragile state. Therefore, to lose weight during the whole menstrual period, we should pay attention to appropriately reducing the amount of exercise, exercise time and exercise frequency.
2. Do different exercises in different time periods.
1-3 days menstrual period, you can do some gentle stretching exercises, or just some simple stretching exercises, such as walking and meditation yoga. Light exercise helps blood flow and relieves menstrual pressure. Avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity during exercise, and lift your legs too high. If you feel tired during the process or find that the amount of bleeding suddenly increases or decreases, you need to stop exercising immediately.
On the 4th-5th day of menstruation, the body begins to recover. At this time, aerobic exercise such as walking and jogging can be started.
3. Keep warm during menstrual exercise.
Pay attention to keep warm during menstrual exercise. If you don't keep warm in time, because the whole person is very fragile, the immunity during menstruation decreases, and the body is easily exposed to the wind, causing menstrual pain. If the symptoms of physical discomfort are not alleviated but strengthened during exercise, you should stop exercising immediately.
