Svaka žena prolazi različito kroz menstrualni ciklus, ali izvesno je da ne postoji nijedna koja ne oseća nešto neprijatno u "onim danima".

Za mnoge od nas jedna od tih stvari je naduvenost. Stomak je otečen i tvrd i osećaš kao da ti je celo telo oteklo.

2 Days Difference ⁣⁣☝?The Pre-Menstrual Bloat ?? ⁣⁣ That week before our period known as PMS week (or for some who suffer with PMDD this week is worse) Our bodies change drastically due to an intense drop in hormones. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We can feel extremely low in mood, energy and can bloat out a lot and this is due to:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1. High Water Retention – A drop in progesterone causes the boy to retain water esp when we eat higher salted foods. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 2. Fat is used as a fuel causing a shift in how our bodies use carbs. This can cause further water retention and bloating. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 3. Increase in appetite due to low satiety levels and increased attention to higher calorie foods from the drop of Oestrogen. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 4. Increased Body Temperature and heart rate causing 2.5-10% increase in resting metabolic rate meaning we burn on average 100-300 more calories per day during this time. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 5. Higher levels of Fatigue and lacking in Energy which can mean we move less and out energy output is lower than normal. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What to do?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1. Try not to overindulge in carbs and aim for higher healthy fats during this time. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 2. Stick to maintenance calories rather than aiming for a large deficit so this can help keep hunger at bay and limit binging. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 3. Try not to focus all your energy and time thinking about it and remember this will pass in a few days time. ⁣⁣ ⁣ 4. Do not weigh yourself – chuck those damn scales away!⁣⁣ ⁣ 5. Try not to train any HIIT sessions and stick to low intensity workouts. Don’t aim for any personal bests and stick to moderate weight for 10-15 rep range. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #periodbloat #bethebloat #periodproblems #periodtalk #bloating #bloatedbelly #bloated #menstrualcycle #cyclelife #hormones #happyhormones #FHA #PMS #PMDD #mindovermuscle #hormonal #amenorrhea #amenorrhearecovery #bloat #hormonalimbalance #reality #realitycheck #instareal #instavsreality

Iako se radi o normalnoj pojavi zbog hormonalnih promena koje dovode do zadržavanja vode, žene i dalje retko pričaju o ovom problemu.

Zato su neke žene na Instagramu otkrile kako njihova tela izgledaju tokom i oko menstruacije.

Fitnes instruktorka Kortni Prus je jedna od prvih koja je objavila fotografiju i napisala da se oseća naduveno i otečeno. Jako brzo u inboks u počele da stižu reakcije žena.

„Uopšteno, poruke koje sam dobijala su uglavnom slične – gomila žena je podelila svoje fizičko iskustvo pre menstruacije“, rekla je ona.

Miv Meden je jedna od devojaka koja je objavila slike svog stomaka u rasponu od par dana, a priključile su se i druge žene koje su na kraju ipak odahnule jer su zahvaljujući društvenim mrežama shvatile da nisu same.

?5 SEC TRANSFORMATION ? Let’s get real for a hot sec! These pics were taken 5 seconds apart… . Most fitspos (including myself) are seen posing, tensing, flexing – posting pics in in the best lighting on their best days & it’s easy to forget that the final pic we see on da feed was probs the best of MANY. . There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with wanting to look your best, BUT I think it’s important to show our not so glamorous moments + very real selves too… . This past week, I’ve been bloating like crazyyyy. I could have easily just posted the “flexed”photo, but the truth is…we ALL bloat & it’s nothing to be ashamed of ?? . Bloating is caused by water retention & can occur after huge DELICIOUS meals, PMS, heavily drinking on the weekends, traveling – you name it… it’s NORMAL ? . I want to remind you to be gentle with yourself today & everyday, because we are all human ??⭐️?

**Real Life Post** These pictures were taken 9 days apart. LADIES, we all go through it… premenstrual bloating, cramping and rollercoaster mood swings.. some cycles are worse than others.. But never have I EVER gone through such drastic belly bloating like I did this month! No, I wasn't pushing out my stomach in the picture on the left.. I just had so much bloating that my belly was hardened and poked out from my bust and down. I'm not gonna lie, I reaaaaally struggled to stay body positive during this cycle. I felt insecure, overweight and extremely anxious and irritable. It can be SO hard to keep in mind that the effects will ware off in a few days time! So, if you're struggling out there, I want to just give ya a little reminder.. You are beautiful. You shouldn't be too hard on yourself. And you will be over the "aunt flow" effects in just a few days! ? ••Good vibes sending your way, lovelies •• #reallifepost #reallifetalk #beforeandafter #bloatedbelly #staypositive #bodypositive #fitnessjourney #youarebeautiful

☕️ Let’s talk body image! ☕️ . Some days i feel awesome, strong, muscular, but still feminine. And.. Some days i feel like a giant bag of potatoes ??‍♀️ . Let me explain things here. BLOATING doesn’t mean you lost all your progress. A little bit of FLUFF one day, doesn’t mean you a “fatty”. Just because you see girls AND guys working angles and lighting, doesn’t mean they don’t have days where they feel like a whale too. . These pictures are THIS morning. Before food, before coffee, after some running. My period is coming, my hormones are off, my food intake hasn’t been the cleanest, and i honestly just feel BLAH when my period is on the way. THATS LIFE! . It breaks my heart to see people seeking ways to not be fluffy or bloat when it’s life. It’s just how your body is! Nobody is perfect. Nobody is flawless. So, don’t compare yourself! . You are BEAUTIFUL. You are STRONG. You are MORE THAN your body’s appearance. . This is going to be a weekend of relaxation for me. So my goal is to not be on my phone as much! Sometimes you just need some space and chill time. Hope y’all have an amazing Friday! Spread some love! Keep being YOU! . Outfit: @buffbunny_collection
