No. The so-called menstrual weight loss method is to take advantage of some of the special characteristics of women's menstrual period to divide weight loss into four periods. The 1-7 days after menstruation are called the weight loss welfare period, and the 7th period after menstruation are called the weight loss period. The 14th day after menstruation is called the fast weight loss period, the 14th to 21st days after menstruation are called the fast weight loss period, and the 21st to 28th days after menstruation are called the slow weight loss period. Go through these four stages to achieve weight loss. The reason given online is that women's hormones fluctuate greatly during menstruation, which can affect fat burning. During this period, the female body's ability to break down fat is much higher than usual.
Is the menstrual weight loss method really effective? The answer is no. For girls before and after menstruation, because estrogen and progesterone promote the secretion of aldosterone, water and sodium will be retained, which is the "fat gain before and after menstruation" that often occurs in our lives. However, when the menstrual period is over, the weight will naturally fall back. Some people take it for granted that this is the result of weight loss during menstruation. In addition, the body's basal metabolism does increase during menstruation, which further confirms the idea that weight loss during menstruation is effective. But this was just an illusion because she ignored previous weight changes. In fact, although high concentrations of estrogen and progesterone have an impact on the body's sugar and fat metabolism, it is very small! Far from achieving significant weight loss results.
Can I really eat anything during menstruation without gaining weight? There is also a saying on the Internet that "you can eat freely during menstruation without worrying about gaining weight. It is simply good news for foodies." Baby, wake up soon. This sentence is just like "If you hold an umbrella in the house, you will not grow taller." It is simply a lie. It is true that metabolism during menstruation is higher than usual. Eating some carbohydrates during menstruation will help supplement consumption, but eating too many sweets will also cause the body's blood sugar to rise, which will then be stored as fat. So it’s okay to eat a little sweets, but excessive intake will still make you gain weight, so you still need to control it.
