Why do you lose weight when you have your period?
Reason:

During the physiological period, due to a large number of hormones secreted by the human body, the digestion and metabolism of sugar are much faster than usual, so the weight will be lighter than before.

Eating sweets in moderation will not make you fat. But don't have the idea that eating sweets during menstruation will not affect weight loss. Eating too much sweets will also increase calorie intake, which will also cause blood sugar instability and aggravate menstrual discomfort. Therefore, there must be a deadline for eating sweets, and it is not safe to eat during the whole physiological period.

Under normal circumstances, the acceleration of glucose metabolism is limited to the first three days of the physiological period, and it will return to normal after the fourth day, so it is best for women to control their appetite as much as possible after the fourth day.

Extended data

A few days before the physiological period, the body's hormones will change, and the body will have edema and other changes, so it is normal to gain weight during the physiological period. After the physiological period, the edema will subside and the weight will drop. So, after enjoying sweets for a few days, I found that my weight was the same as that during my physiological period. The weight I should have lost did not drop, but actually increased.

Eat less sweets during the physiological period, especially sweets with high calorie and high sugar, so as not to increase the physical burden during menstruation. The pleasure of eating sweets is short-lived and more psychological.

If you really want to eat sweets, it is recommended to eat homemade sweets, such as making hawthorn, apple and jujube soup at home and adding appropriate longan, which is delicious and nutritious; If you like chocolate, it is recommended to choose dark chocolate with high cocoa concentration and light sweetness, because caffeine can relieve pain.
