There are rumors that you won’t get fat when you eat during menstruation. You can eat high-calorie things such as desserts and milk tea, so you don’t have to worry about getting fat.
Isn’t this really an excuse for girls to find for themselves to eat desserts? What should I do if I want to lose weight?
Can’t you gain weight if you eat it during menstruation?
Of course, it is not. Some people say that during menstruation, the absorption of energy in food will decrease and increase consumption due to changes in hormones and basal metabolism of , but is this really the case?
During one menstrual cycle, many subtle changes will occur in the female body:
01
changes in hormones
On the day of ovulation (about the 14th day of menstruation) to the next menstruation, it is the luteal phase . During this period, the level of estrogen and progesterone is higher, among which progesterone will promote gastric emptying and reduce intestinal peristalsis, which may lead to loss of appetite, indigestion, and decreased absorption function of women. But this effect is not obvious.
02
Changes in basal metabolism
basal metabolism refers to the energy consumption necessary for a person to maintain the most basic life activities, such as breathing and heartbeat. During the luteal phase, basal metabolism will increase slightly, but the increase is limited, which will not have much effect on weight loss.
In addition, some girls will also experience edema during menstruation. After menstruation, the swelling gradually decreases, giving people the illusion of weight loss. However, this is just the weight returning to the level before menstruation, which is not a real weight loss. Instead, the desserts you eat may have quietly turned into fat.
If you want to lose weight, you have to do this
Weight loss is not metaphysical, you should find a scientific method. Xiaoying recommends you to do this:
01
Keep a light diet and control the total amount
greasy and heavy foods are usually accompanied by more energy and are easy to make people have a big appetite. Therefore, if you want to lose weight, Xiaoying recommends developing a light taste first. In addition, try to do a regular diet. It is recommended to eat 1 fist staple food, 1 fist meat, eggs or soybeans and other high-quality protein-rich foods, and 2 fist staple foods.
02
Eat more fruits and vegetables and coarse grains with strong sense of fullness
Fruits and vegetables and coarse grains are rich in dietary fiber, with low dietary fiber energy, and can absorb water and expand, delay stomach emptying time, provide a better feeling of fullness, reduce appetite, and help us reduce food intake. It is an indispensable food for people who lose weight. It is recommended that you "one pound of vegetables and half pound of fruit" every day, and coarse grains account for 1/3 of the total staple food.
03
Moderate exercise
Exercise is the best way to increase energy consumption. People who need to lose weight can do more aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, etc., and perform moderate-intensity exercise for more than 30 minutes a day (that is, I feel a little tired but not particularly tired), and exercise at least 5 days a week. Of course, sisters who are in menstruation should be more comfortable and should not exercise too much to lose weight!
Menstrual period weight loss , in addition to following the above principles, special attention should be paid to supplementing iron-rich foods, including red meat (pork, beef, mutton), animal liver, and animal blood to supplement the lost iron elements. After all, being healthy is the prerequisite for weight loss.
After reading it, do you feel that there is another excuse to eat desserts and drink milk tea? It’s already very uncomfortable during menstruation, and it’s understandable to eat some desserts, but you can eat and drink with the idea of “no matter how you eat it, you won’t get fat” and be careful to get fat!
Weight loss, we should pay attention to science~
