Fasting during menstruation can help you lose weight quickly

Many obese people believe that fasting during menstruation can help them lose weight faster. In fact, this statement is a wrong method. Women's physical constitution is weak during menstruation. If they cannot eat well at this time, it will cause great harm to their health. Of course, there are still many misunderstandings about losing weight during menstruation. Here are some common mistakes in losing weight during menstruation!

1. Fasting during menstruation

In fact, this extreme method of fasting during menstruation to lose weight not only fails to reduce weight, but will cause certain harm to the body. More importantly, once the menstrual fasting period is over, the body will have a strong desire to eat, and then you will involuntarily eat a lot of food, and a large amount of fat and calories far exceeds the upper limit of metabolism, which will be converted into fat stored in the body, making you gain more weight.

2. Eating spicy food during menstruation can speed up digestion

The menstrual period is the most vulnerable time of the month for women. If you blindly eat spicy food at this time, your stomach and intestines will be stimulated by the irritating taste and will continue to contract, which will slow down the entire metabolism and sometimes even cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is not suitable to eat these highly irritating foods during menstruation. If you want to lose weight through diet during your period, the best way is to eat light foods that are easy to digest but have high nutritional value, such as green vegetables, fish and other foods. This is the correct way to lose weight during menstruation.

3. Drinking tea during menstruation can effectively lose weight

In fact, if you use drinking tea as a method to lose weight during menstruation, your weight will increase over time, making it difficult to achieve your goal of losing weight. Because during the menstrual period, the blood in the body circulates rapidly. If you drink tea at this time, the tannic acid in the tea will block the absorption of iron in the stomach and intestines, which is not conducive to the peristalsis and metabolic function of the stomach and intestines. At the same time, in the long run, the body will suffer from anemia symptoms due to lack of iron.

4. Doing muscle exercises during menstruation will reduce excess fat

It is true that doing light exercise during menstruation can help you lose weight, but if you use the wrong exercise method, it will make your muscles develop and make you become stronger. In fact, when exercising, you need to distinguish which types of exercise are for training muscles and which types of exercise are for actually burning fat. Generally speaking, muscle training cannot consume fat, it can only help shape firm muscle lines. Therefore, the best exercise for weight loss during menstruation is aerobic exercise, such as jogging, which will be effective in losing weight.
