One week after menstruation, the golden period for dieting

Hormonal Changes and Fat Breakdown

 

After menstruation ends, the woman's body increases estrogen secretion and the progesterone secretion drops to its lowest level.

During this period, the inhibitory function of progesterone on lipolytic enzymes disappears, promoting fat breakdown, and the weight gained from water retention also returns to normal.

 

<Loss of appetite and exercise effects>

 

Due to changes in progesterone secretion, appetite also diminishes. As hormone balance is restored, metabolism becomes more active, and endurance and strength also improve, leading to better exercise efficiency.

Therefore, increasing the intensity and duration of exercise during this period is effective for weight loss.

Adequate sleep

 

If you want to make effective use of this period, it is important to give your body rest and stability through sufficient sleep so that hormone secretion can occur properly.

 

Recommended foods

 

Since a week after the end of menstruation is a period when appetite stabilizes, it is recommended to eat foods rich in dietary fiber that are low in fat and calories, such as seaweed or spinach.

If the swelling does not go down easily, detoxing with lemon tea in the morning is also an option.
