Actually a woman requires extra calories when she's menstruating. Most of her weight is gained from water retention and can gain 5 or more pounds during her period, but then loses it afterwards due to the fact that it is mostly water weight (not to mention constipation).

Well it goes by if she worked out.  If you work out then you really can eat what ever you want with out gain weight.  the 2nd thing would be that is not that health.  You need to eat a lot of difft foods to be health.  But I would say the person would be Average, Average but not health and later on down the line it would bit her in the a-s-s.  Don't worry about how much your eatting...eat what you want just make sure you work out do hour a day and you should be fine.

Sure it can. Your changing your estrogen level and anytime you change your body's chemical make-up, weight gain can occur.

We gain before our period. It's called water gain, you know that bloated feeling.

Not sure there is a way but whenever I have went on a strict diet it seems to have that effect on my period. It may not effect everybody like that.

Girl! Eat what you want. . .you are about to experience the most annoying function of a woman's body - treat yourself! I've never heard of anyone dying from eating too much chocolate or Ben & Jerry's before their period. It's only once a month. . .

I assume you mean hungry? \n\nIts hormonal.  Estrogen fades as you get ready to start a period.  Estrogen helps keep insulin under control.  Insulin, thus, can go wild.  The purpose of insulin is to open the "cell's mouths" to let food and water in.  Thus, right before your period, insulin is madly tucking food and water in cells, causing bloating and weight gain.\n\nThe food insulin tucks in cells is blood glucose.  If insulin tucks in too much glucose (a condition known as hyperinsulinemia), it can result in there being too little blood glucose in the blood stream for the rest of the body to use during the day (a condition known as hypoglycemia).  If the brain senses a low blood sugar condition, it requests food, lots of it, high carb food like chocolate and potato chips and french fries and such.  \n\nThat is why you may be hungry before your period.\n\nTo find out whys and what to do, visit www.hufa.org

it doesn't work like that.  if you eat 1 gram of chocolate your body weight won't go up by 1 gram.  you break down the food and it gets absorbed and used and excreted.  stop worrying about time and look at the calories.  it doesn't matter that you can eat 6 pounds of chocolate in one day and not gain more then 1 pound, the issue is that you just ate 6000 calories and that is what is going to cost you in the end.

Of course. Eating more calories than you are putting out will cause you too gain weight.

Usually, your breasts feel hard. You becomea little bit moody. You might also experience stomach cramps. Pimples also begin to show. Having a menstruation is a bit uneasy. Anyway, just wear a suitable sanitary napkin. It's part of being a lady~! ^^

That's just how some people put on weight. It is hormonal. Talk to your doctor.

I personally have only gained weight while dieting.  It just never seems to work for me and my body reacts negatively to me changing my diet.  I think I'm probably just weird though...\n\nAs for you, you could be gaining water weight.  This means that, with your change in diet, your body is retaining water as sort of a shock reaction, and after a week or two will stop.  Another option could be hormonal.  Bloating and such, ie retaining water, occur during your period, and the weight you've gained will disappear after your cycle ends.  \nIt is unlikely that you've put on weight from muscle, especially cardio.  It takes awhile to gain muscle like this and, unless you've been working out 24/7, you won't see in increase like that immediately.  However, working out is the best way to get in shape, so I would suggest you focus more on this and less on diet- inevitably you will see better results this way.  Finally, instead of weighing yourself for results, you might try taking pictures.  If you have a digital camera, just take a picture of yourself at the beginning of every week.  This shows the actual differences that occur in your body and you don't have to wonder whether that weight gain occurred from getting muscle or doing something wrong in your regimen.  Another way to tell if your workout is working is setting a goal, like running up a flight of stairs.  Once a week, run up the stairs.  When you start, it may be difficult and by the end, you'll have to catch your breath.  However, with working out, you'll see a real difference and make it up those stairs in a sec.  Hope this helps!

Yes ...assuming that you are eating more than 4 chocolate bars and 1-2 granola bars a day ...even with the fruit ...that would result in weight gain...not to mention that you are cheating your body out of vital minerals and vitamins...this would not be good long term. You're probably hungry alot...you've been eating alot of carbohydrates and fat and virtually no protein.

yes stress can make big changes in your period, as can increased or decreased exercise.  heck, just be happy it's lighter for a change!
