It is not suitable to use the 21-day weight loss method to lose weight during menstruation.

The 21-day weight loss method requires strict diet control, similar to starvation therapy, especially the first 3 days, which requires a complete fast and drinking only water. During menstruation, women's body nutrition is already reduced, and fasting will have a certain impact on the body, which may cause menstrual disorders and other problems. Therefore, it is best not to use the 21-day weight loss method to lose weight during menstruation.

Causes anemia

Generally speaking, the fasting period of the 21-day weight loss method may cause adverse reactions to ordinary people. Moreover, during menstruation, women's bodies become weaker and are prone to anemia. At this time, you should supplement your nutrition and eat more foods rich in protein and iron. If you use the 21-day weight loss method, the 3-day fasting period plus the strict diet control afterwards will make it impossible to replenish nutrients in time during menstruation, which may make the body weaker and even cause anemia symptoms such as pale complexion, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Easy to have irregular menstruation

Girls need body fat to account for at least 17% of their body weight to have menarche, and body fat to reach at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. However, the 21-day weight loss method may cause a large amount of fat and protein to be consumed due to insufficient energy intake, resulting in estrogen synthesis disorders and obvious deficiency, affecting menstruation, and even causing scanty menstruation or amenorrhea.
