How to avoid gaining some weight during your periods?
Periods are due to hormonal changes; therefore, some physical and psychological changes occur.
During your period, as you lose a large quantity of blood, you are tired and sometimes even irritable.
However, sugar acts for your body like gasoline for a car. It is a source of energy, a fuel.
Therefore, sugar, and especially chocolate, provides you with the strength you lack! Wanting something sweet is a signal, a call from your body…
Weight gain is also natural and you should not be worried about it. It may vary between 2 to 4 pounds and will disappear within a week following the end of your periods.
In general, this weight gain is due to temporary water retention in your body. I am sure that if you talk about this with your friends, you will be surprised to see that you are not the only one to encounter these symptoms.
