Bloating, cravings, and “period weight”? You’re not imagining it — but it’s not fat gain either. Hormonal shifts can cause water retention, slower digestion, and inflammation before and during your cycle. The trick is learning to work with your body — not against it. 💧 Stay hydrated (yes, even when you feel puffy) 🥦 Add fibre & magnesium-rich foods 🚶 Gentle movement helps flush fluid 🥩 Rebuild iron stores after your period 🌿 Balance blood sugar with protein & whole foods
