Christine Gerbstadt, MD, a registered dietitian from the United States, explaining weight changes associated with menstrual phase.
1. Menstruation
When the body begins to undergo a monthly cycle, you may feel cramping, bloating, fatigue, and mood of uncertainty. On the positive side, when the body is actively bleeding, it will tear down all unused uterine lining and prepare for a new cycle of blood in the body.
Over time, appetite and bloating will disappear. In fact, your weight will come down for a month after the cycle stops.
2. Follicular phase
Follicular phase is the process of egg maturation. In this phase, the body will naturally work hard to choose the perfect egg. This is what causes the hormone estrogen increases.
Unfortunately, the increase in the hormone estrogen is to increase body weight. In addition, the uterine lining will thicken welcome to fertilized embryos. Your body may go up slightly for up to one kilogram.
3. Ovulation
Towards the ovulation phase, you will feel more energized. You will often feel bloated, breast began to tighten. It will also have an impact on weight gain. Some women in this phase also feel excessive thirst in response to hormones.

In this phase, you will not feel bloated in a few days. But a few days later, you have "pre-menstrual syndrome". Not only the feeling of soaring appetite because your body is preparing for a potential pregnancy, you too will feel excited to eat salty, sweet foods, and oily. It can take you to with increasing body weight 1-1.5 kg.
