Is it good to lose weight one week after menstruation?

Many fat girls worry about losing weight, and there are also many people who lose weight blindly. Recently, there are methods of losing weight during menstruation circulating on the Internet. It is said that the calories consumed during menstruation are twice as much as usual, and the calories consumed will be replenished one week after the menstruation. The week after menstruation becomes the golden period for weight loss. Is there any scientific basis for this statement? Let’s talk about it now.

We divided the menstrual cycle into the early follicular phase (low estrogen and progesterone levels), the mid-follicular phase (increased estrogen and low progesterone levels) and the mid-luteal phase (high estrogen and progesterone levels) for the experiment. During 90 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, there was no significant difference in the oxidation level of energy substances and glucose utilization levels in normal weight women among these three phases. In an article published in 2011, researchers such as Vaiksaar divided the menstrual cycle into the follicular phase and the luteal phase for experiments and found that during a one-hour ergometer exercise, the energy expenditure, oxygen consumption level, exercise and resting heart rate levels, oxidation levels of energy substances, and lactate levels in the body of female rowers were not related to the menstrual cycle.

After ovulation (14th day of menstruation), due to the effect of progesterone, you may experience loss of appetite, indigestion, and decreased absorption function. A decrease in absorption function does not mean no absorption. If you eat too many calories, they will also be converted into fat and stored. At any stage, you should not overeat thinking that "if the absorption is not good, you will not gain weight."

Girls consume a lot of energy during menstruation. It is best to replenish blood and vitality after menstruation so that you can have a healthy body. It is meaningless to be thin if your body is not healthy.

Don't lose weight at the expense of your body. That is unscientific and unhealthy. You should combine exercise and diet in your daily life. Controlling your diet does not mean dieting. Not eating will cause great harm to the body and is prone to rebound. You must persist in losing weight. Doing it intermittently will make you fatter. You also need a plan to lose weight. It does not require fast results. If you lose fat quickly but your skin does not become firm, not only will the weight loss effect be poor but you will also look unsightly. Diet pills are even more unacceptable. Confidence is also an important tool for weight loss.
