A woman body is a complex unity demanding and grateful. If we take care of ourselves then everything comes out just right and no problems appear but as soon as we forget about our body it pays us back in no time. So, answer one question what your menstrual cycle day is it today? It is certainly great if you can answer but there are lots of women who have no idea about the cycle day or what phase they are in.
If you had started reading this article you must have been interested in loosing weight but you may probably ask how our menstrual cycle can influence out weight. If you are an experienced 'dieter' you probable have noticed that our weight tends to increase in the end of the cycle and it reduces after menses. The matter is that our metabolism and appetite depend upon lots of different things among which are: the age, season, time of the day and menstrual cycle day.
Menstrual cycle usually takes about 28 days starting with the first day of menses and can be divided into three phases: follicular phase, ovulation and literal phase. The first phase is characterised by the growth of estrogen which will reach its top in the middle of the cycle. The middle of the cycle is known as ovulation. This is the time when a woman can get pregnant. Progesterone will grow slowly and reach its maximum in the end of the third cycle week. It will remain at its peak up to the menses thus every woman feels slightly pregnant being hungry, irritable and sleepy.
So, we can also divide our cycle into three phases. Phase A is the estrogen growth period. That is the best time to go on a diet. Let`s call it "time to loose weight" phase. Phase B is the progesterone growth phase, which can be called "time to keep weight". Phase C is the time when most women experience premenstrual syndrome. Let`s call it "time not to get fatter".
