Why women get weight during their period ?

Are you a woman on a diet or you are used to weigh yourself frequently and a few days before your period you see the scale going up to the top ?

This process is completely normal and part of what we call pre- menstrual syndrome .

It is caused due to fluid retention which normally occurs caused by hormonal changes and gynecological changes of period .

Weight increase can be up and half to two pounds , but it is temporary.

After menstruation your weight and your body returns immediately to its initial condition.

So do not get discouraged and keep on trying and continuing your diet programme .

For this reason , moreover, diet experts  recommend  to avoid weighing before period , so as to avoid any psychological shock .
