Period Water Weight Gain

Tweet

Around a females time of the month and on a females period there is usually weight gain. No need to freak out it is temporary weight gain. This is called water weight. A female will gain anywhere from 2-7lbs of water weight do to bloating on her period followed with cramps. You can take a water pill to help with the water weight and bloating and some midol or tylonal for cramps. I stress to use water pills as directed because if you get to much water out of your system and then your body doesn't have enough water and will dehydrate you. This could cause unwanted aches, cramping, and occasionally Charlie horses. Those are never fun. So if you were wondering if weight gain is normal around or on your period the answer is yes.
