When is the golden period for weight loss?

　　  What is basal body temperature

　　“Basal body temperature, also known as resting body temperature, is the body temperature when the body is in its quietest state. It is best to measure basal body temperature at 6-7 a.m. before waking up and without moving. ”Dr. Hayaki Taguchi tells us. generally normal female Body temperature, except when sick or under severe stress, mostly changes periodically within the range of 0.3-0.5 degrees Celsius.

　　Generally, the female menstrual cycle is divided into four phases, namely menstrual phase, egg cell phase, ovulation phase and luteal phase. A woman's basal body temperature will fluctuate according to changes in the menstrual cycle. When she is in the menstrual period to the ovulation period, the basal body temperature will be relatively low, and when she is in the second half of the ovulation period and the luteal phase, the basal body temperature will increase accordingly. During the low temperature period, you can effectively lose weight, while during the high temperature period, you need to do oil control and maintenance and moisturizing.

　　The first phase, days 1-6 (weight loss pause period):

　　Physical characteristics of the menstrual period (low temperature period): slow metabolism, stagnant or rising weight, prone to edema, and irritable mood.

　　Weight loss plan: Menstrual period is the time when women should start protecting their bodies and storing healthy The timing of the condition, so weight loss is not recommended during this period. It is recommended to keep your body warm during menstruation, preferably by walking for 20-30 minutes every day.

　　The second stage, days 7-14 (weight loss platinum period):

　　One week after the menstrual period: Oocyte stage (low temperature period) Physical characteristics: accelerated metabolism, good digestive function, mental stability, happy mood, delicate and smooth skin. Weight loss plan: This is the best period for metabolism, and strict weight loss will have the best results. The weight gained before menstruation will recover naturally, and weight loss will be more effective.

　　The third stage, days 15-21 (golden period for weight loss):

　　Physical characteristics of the ovulation period (high temperature period): body temperature gradually rises, appetite gradually increases, and nutrients are absorbed well. Weight loss plan: This period is the dual period of ovulation and preluteal phase. Although metabolism is fast, absorption is also fast, and the effect will be slower than that of the platinum period. Therefore, sisters who want to lose weight must pay attention to their eating habits at this time, which is best combined with exercise, and eat smaller meals more frequently to control appetite. This period is still a good period to continue losing weight, and it is most important to consolidate the weight loss results.

　　The fourth stage, days 22-28 (weight loss maintenance period):

　　One week before the menstrual period, during the luteal phase, PMS premenstrual syndrome (high temperature period) begins to appear. Physical characteristics: body swelling, weight gain, emotional instability, irritability, skin Become greasy, prone to acne, have constipate Condition. Weight loss plan: Due to the influence of progesterone, the body begins to accumulate water seriously, the weight loss effect stagnates, the appetite increases, and it is easy to become emotional. At this time, you should relax, drink more water, eat light food, and choose gentle exercise. Consolidate previous weight loss results. How to carry out effective basal body temperature management?

　　Through their own basal body temperature, women can choose the best period to lose weight, making weight loss more scientific and effective. Dr. Taguchi believes that measuring basal body temperature requires persistence. Generally, it takes more than three consecutive menstrual cycles to explain the problem. In order to improve the accuracy of measuring basal body temperature, it is recommended to use an electronic thermometer to avoid unnecessary trouble. Place it on your bedside table or next to your pillow every night before going to bed so it's easily accessible and minimizes movement. Notice! If you get up and pick up a thermometer, your basal body temperature will rise, making this day's body temperature value meaningless. For women who work the middle or night shift, you can measure the basal body temperature every time sleep 4-6 hours after waking up.
