How much weight gain luteal phase?
Every month, right before my period, I feel so heavy and my pants get tight. Someone told me it's related to the luteal phase. Is it normal to gain weight then, and if so, how much?

Oh, the luteal phase! That's when my body decides it's time to retain ALL the water and make me feel like a balloon. Not sure exactly how much, but it *feels* like a whole extra person. And then I crave chocolate and the cycle continues, haha!
It can be really frustrating, right? I used to feel so down about the scale going up during that time, thinking I'm doing something wrong. But it's usually just water retention, anywhere from 1-3 kgs for many women. It's temporary, don't let it bother you too much.
Um, I'm new to tracking all this, but I do notice I feel heavier. Is it really just water weight mostly? I get really confused when the scale jumps up around that time. Is there anything specific to reduce it?
Haan beti, mahine ke kuch din aisi lagti hai ki sharir mein paani bhar gaya hai. Meri maa bhi kehti thi thoda namak kam khao uss samay. Ek do kilo toh badh hi jaata hai, phir theek ho jaata hai. Chinta na karo.
Generally, it's normal to see a small gain, maybe 1-2 kgs, due to water retention and hormonal changes. My mother used to say just drink more water and less salt. But if it's bothering you a lot, best to discuss with a gynaecologist, they can give proper guidance.

Oh, I totally get it! That feeling of bloat and the scale going up for no apparent reason. It's usually about 1-2.5 kgs for me because of hormones and fluid retention. Just remember it's physiological, not real weight gain, and it passes.
For women, this luteal phase weight gain is mostly water retention, not actual fat. It can be 1-3 kgs. Don't stress too much, it usually goes back to normal after your period. Focus on consistent healthy habits throughout the month.
