During the physiological period, because a large number of hormones are secreted in the human body, the digestion and metabolism of sugar is 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 many sweets will also increase the calorie intake, which will also cause blood sugar instability and aggravate the discomfort during menstruation. Therefore, there must be a time limit for eating sweets, and it is not safe to eat them during the whole physiological period.

Under normal circumstances, the acceleration of sugar metabolism is limited to the first three days of the physiological period, and 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.

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