It is not recommended to pursue speed during physiological weight loss. Scientific diet and moderate exercise should be the core, avoiding excessive dieting or vigorous exercise. The hormonal fluctuations caused by the menstrual cycle can affect metabolism and appetite, and blindly accelerating weight loss at this time may disrupt endocrine balance. During the early stages of menstruation, due to a decrease in estrogen levels, some women may experience edema. At this time, body fat measurements may deviate, and intentionally reducing calorie intake may lead to anemia or abnormal menstrual flow. The metabolic rate during the follicular phase increases after menstruation, and aerobic exercise duration can be appropriately increased, but it still needs to be controlled within a safe range of losing no more than 1 kilogram per week.

It is recommended to choose low-intensity activities such as yoga or walking during menstruation, and avoid doing handstands or squeezing the abdomen. Elevated progesterone levels during the luteal phase may be accompanied by overeating, which can be alleviated by increasing the intake of whole grains and dark vegetables rich in dietary fiber, soaking feet in warm water, and other methods. Throughout the entire cycle, avoid stimulating uterine contractions with raw and cold foods, maintain a daily intake of 1600 calories, supplement animal liver and red meat to prevent iron loss.

Weight loss requires several months to show stable results, and menstrual cycle is only one of the influencing factors. It is recommended to record the weight change trend for the entire 3 menstrual cycles and use basal body temperature monitoring to identify the peak metabolic period. If menstrual disorders or persistent fatigue occur, the weight loss plan should be stopped immediately and medical examination should be sought. Long term healthy weight management cannot do without muscle mass improvement, and moderate resistance training after exercise is more important than short-term weight loss.
