Is it true that you gain weight when on your period?
Question:
Answers:
This is what is referred to as "water weight." Your body retains fluids around the start of your cycle, and you feel a tightness, mostly from your pants; it's uncomfortable, but won't last. It shouldn't be more than a couple of pounds and it will come off naturally.
Many women experience weight gain around two weeks before their period because of fluid retention in the body resulting from hormonal changes.
Well, you don't really gain weight during your period. Your breasts tend to swell up, perhaps making you look heavier than normal. You do have cravings which lead to weight gain, so just try to avoid junk food and drink water.
