Periods & Weight 🦋

Dieting never worked for me because my period would always throw me off course.

Not only am I RAVENOUS the week before my period, but the only thing I truly want is chocolate.

I would be good alill month long, then feel like an absolute failure becase my cravings increased, I looked bloated despite ignoring the cravings and I GAINED WEIGHT!

Throw on my history of irregular cycles and I was basically doomed from the start.

Luckily, I learned that not only do you burn more calories in your luteal phase, but you also retain more water leading to period bloat. So it made sense why I was the bottomless pit yet felt extra squishy at the same time.

I also learned that pms cravings are way worse when you suffer from estrogen-dominance or a progesterone deficiency.

After working towards boosting my progesterone, regulating my cycle and focusing a high quality macronutrients, I am now able to maintain a healthy body composition and relationship with how I view myself.

Now I help women do the same - follow for more!
