Hormone balance can alter whilst losing
weight
Hormones that govern the menstrual cycle in women are mostly
found in fat between the waist and the knees. The balance of these
hormones can alter slightly whilst losing weight. Due to this,
while on LighterLife women may find no change in their periods or
that they temporarily become:
- More or less frequent.
- Heavier or lighter.
- Stop.
These changes are only temporary, and a
woman’s menstrual cycle will return to normal once they finish
losing weight and increase their energy intake.
Obese women have increased risks of:
- No periods (Amenorrhea).
- Infrequent periods
(Ligomenorrhea).
- Excessively heavy periods (Menorrhagia).
These risks can be reduced by losing
weight.
Excess weight can also reduce fertility. So remember, women may
become more fertile as they lose weight.
