Q.

How does premenstrual water retention affects weight loss?

Hi, I'm new to this site. I keep reading that people gain or don't lose weight around their time of the month due to water retention. Is this true? Will the weight loss show afterwards?

A.

Our expert says...

This is a very individual thing - some women retain water premenstrually and some don?t, at least not to any noticeable degree. If you do, it may be that you will not lose weight in the week leading up to your period , or even put on a pound or so. If this happens, the usual pattern is that you lose a little more than your usual amount the next week, so the overall trend is still 1-2 pounds a week lost. Every body is different so the pattern of weight loss can vary a lot from person to person, but I hope this helps to give you some idea.
