Menstration vs Weight Loss

[Freshman30]

I tend to lose less weight around my period especially when it's late. Is there anything I can do to combat it?

I always drink plenty of water and stay away from the chocolate! Well... usually...

Try and keep in mind that some of the weight gain around your period is fluid. I find a good way to know the difference is if it drops off quickly within a few days after my period is finished then it is probably water weight. Last month I gained almost a kilo for 3 days and then it just dropped off.
