Ladies, how do you manage a calorie deficit around your period? I really struggle with it during different times of the month. I’ve lost around 50lbs in the past 6 months, and while my progress has slowed a bit, I’m still losing. I have my daily calorie goal set to 1700 in my app, and I can stick to it easily for two weeks at a time.
However, during my period week, I can barely eat. I end up consuming under 1000 calories because I have terrible cramps, feel sick all the time, and sometimes I even throw up. This all started after my last pregnancy. Then the week after my period, I feel absolutely ravenous and can’t seem to stop eating. It’s like my hunger is out of control. After that, I go back to my normal routine and can easily stick to my deficit for the next two weeks. 🙈
I’m wondering will this monthly cycle of under-eating one week, overeating the next, and then two ‘normal’ weeks make it harder to lose the last 20–25lbs? I’d really appreciate hearing have others come across it and how others manage this.
