For Women Only Please....

So my period is starting soon and I went on the scale today and I've gained 3lbs back....is that normal??? I freaked out a little and was like WTF?!!!!! so yeah figured I'd ask.

It's called bloating.  Unless you've been eating off plan, yes, it's completely normal to retain water during your cycle.

I had a feeling that's what it was, I just wanted to make sure b/c I've been eating more protein than I was and you know in my head eating more = gaining weight, even if it is what I'm supposed to be eating!

Hormonal fluctuations are completely normal.  Stick to the plan and you'll be fine.

Perfectly normal  Hang in there, it will go away once you are done with your cycle
