Hello

I recently (a month back) started doing a regular walk in the morning for 30 to 40 minutes a brisk walk everyday & also have reduced my calorie intake. I have added more Fibrous food to my menu & also reduced on the fat intake by taking low fat food & sugar substitute. But I observe that I have not reduced weight & also my tummy is increasing everyday. I feel my tummy bloated all the time. I understand that it may not decrease immediately but not able to understand y it is increasing & what could have been going wrong. My portions also I have reduced so that I don't over eat at one time & not eat anything for the other meal. Even then this increase in tummy is really concerning. I don't see any increase in other part of the body but tummy definitely (my jeans are tight now). Being a women I want ot know if this is connected to the Mensural cycle by any chance? I am in the second part of my Mensural cycle. Please help me in solving this mystery. Thanks.

Regards
Rad

You are probably retaining water and this is part of the menstrual cycle. Taking a B6 (diuretic) vitamin will not do any harm and eliminate some of that water if you don't mind being up peeing all night.

Thank you so much. I shall try this Vitamin. I have recently started drinking water in the morning.. say 3 glass of water when I learnt its good to drink water as soon as yo u get up. Will this have any connection with this water retention? What is the main cause of water retention? Thanks in advance
