❌ Don’t let your hormones ruin your weight loss!! Here’s how to work WITH your body in every phase of your menstrual cycle…

1️⃣ Phase 1: Menstruation / Your period / Time of the month.

Its normal to feel a bit fatigued and less motivated. Try moving intense workouts either side of your flow days.

🧘‍♀️ Walking or yoga can help with cramps, keep energy output high and actually energise you too!

2️⃣ Phase 2: The follicular phase, from the start of your period until ovulation. A great time to maximise progress!

🌟 Estrogen is high. You might feel more energised, stronger and have more stable moods.

🙌 PLUS it suppresses hunger, making sticking to your calorie deficit easier.

3️⃣ Ovulation. If you have a 28-day cycle, this is 14 days after your period starts.

You may be a bit bloated - if you’re still doing all the right things, this is not because you’re diet has stopped working! It’s just your body retaining water thanks to hormonal changes.

Trust the process and don't let the scale number discourage you 😉

4️⃣ Phase 4:  The Luteal phase. This is often the trickiest:

🎢 Estrogen fluctuations = unpredictable energy levels.

🍰 High progesterone makes you hungrier & serotonin (your brain’s feel-good chemical) drops… so a sweet pick-me-up seems v tempting.

🔥 Your metabolism DOES increase slightly the few days so factor in 100-200 extra calories.

You'll still be in a deficit and don't need to feel like you're battling your body 😉
