Don't step on lightning when losing weight! These 4 behaviors will cause menstrual cramps to go on strike

Despite eating less than a cat and exercising more diligently than a donkey, the weight scale reading seems to have been stuck by 502 glue, and to make matters worse - my period suddenly disappeared? Don't rush to blame the cold weather, it may be that you have stepped on an invisible landmine on your weight loss journey. These seemingly harmless operations are quietly pressing the red light button on the body.

1. One size fits all approach to carbon water, hormone factories shut down

1. Butterfly effect of cutting off carbon water

Treating rice and noodles as enemies? The brain and ovaries will be the first to protest. When the daily intake of carbohydrates is less than 100 grams, the hypothalamus will mistakenly think it is experiencing famine and directly close the secretion channel of gonadotropins. Like a power outage in a factory, the follicle development assembly line is forced to shut down.

2. Intelligent Alternative Solution

Replace white rice with brown rice and refined pastries with sweet potatoes. Ensure at least 2 fist sized high-quality carbohydrates, low GI foods such as oatmeal and quinoa can provide continuous energy supply every day, which not only prevents blood sugar from riding a roller coaster, but also stabilizes hormone balance.

2. Exercise on an empty stomach becomes a habit, and the body activates survival mode

1. Dangerous game before morning run

In the morning, skipping exercises on an empty stomach will cause the body to crazily break down muscle protein for energy. Cortisol levels remain consistently high, like a 24-hour air raid warning, directly inhibiting estrogen synthesis. Periodic disorder may occur for two consecutive weeks.

2. Energy Pack Before Exercise

Eating a banana or whole wheat bread 15 minutes before going out is equivalent to sending a "safety certificate" to the body. During aerobic exercise, the heart rate is controlled within the range of (220 age) x 60%, which can burn fat without triggering stress reactions.

3. Excessive protein, liver and kidney overload warning

1. The hidden cost of meat, eggs and milk

When consuming more than 2g/kg body weight of protein per day, the kidneys work overtime to process nitrogen waste, and the liver is busy converting ammonia and urea. In this state, the body will prioritize shutting down "non essential survival functions" - such as the periodic renewal of the endometrium.

2. Golden Ratio Formula

1.2-1.5g of protein per kilogram of body weight, with animal protein and plant protein in a 3:7 ratio. The isoflavones in tofu and chickpeas can also assist in regulating estrogen levels, which is much smarter than simply gnawing on chicken breast.

4. Staying up late to brush fat, irregular biological clock

1. Chain reaction of melatonin

Are you still watching fitness videos at 2 am? Blue light can inhibit the secretion of melatonin, and the decrease in melatonin directly affects the pulse frequency of luteinizing hormone. Staying up late for three consecutive days can delay the ovulation cycle by 7-10 days.

2. Sleep repair plan

Turn down the dark light before 10 p.m., and stop high-intensity training 90 minutes before going to bed. Drinking 200ml warm milk to supplement tryptophan can help the pineal gland smoothly synthesize sleep hormones. The repairing effect of growth hormone during deep sleep is equivalent to two hours of aerobic activity during the day. As you stand on the scale, you may need to see these hidden metabolic codes even more clearly. Instead of pursuing diving performances with numbers on the scale, it's better to send a gentle signal to the body: eat 80% of your basal metabolism every day, schedule 1-2 days off per week, and supplement with iron rich foods before and after menstruation. When the body feels safe, those functions that are on strike will naturally return to normal.
