Question about my period and my diet

[concertina1982]

Hi all... I am on day 7 of induction. I weighed myself on monday of this week and saw a three pound loss... which I love! But I weighed yesterday morning and had gained two back. I then started my period today, which was a surpirse because it is five or six days early. I was wondering if this diet could have caused theis early period and is my little two pound gain because I was premenstral. I hope that the weight just drops off when I finish my period. I will be on it during my last week of induction. Do you think my period caused the two pound gain?

TOM (time of month) typically can add a few pounds in water retention and "typically" does drop after TOM is over. Hopefully that will be the case for you as well Only way to know is to keep monitoring yourself and learn your body's patterns.

As for it coming early....LC has always fluctuated my normal dates.

Congrats on your loss!

Yes, this is pretty common when you first start an LC program - many of us experienced the same thing.

Yep, me too. My periods got a little wonky in the beginning. That was two years ago. They straightened out after a couple of goofy periods. NOW they are VERY off kilter, but I am in the beginning throws of Menopause now.

The weight gain is typical too, which is temporary. DON'T weigh yourself at all during your period or a couple days before and after. You'll just drive yourself nuts.
