Women experience different level of energy, mood, during there phases of menstrual cycle.
SECTION 2: The Different Phases of the Menstrual Cycle
“The menstrual cycle consists of four distinct phases: the Menstrual Phase, the Follicular Phase, the Ovulatory Phase, and the Luteal Phase.”
“During the Menstrual Phase, women might experience lower energy levels and may prefer more relaxed fasting approaches. The Follicular Phase sees a gradual increase in energy, allowing for more flexibility in fasting patterns.”
“The Ovulatory Phase, occurring midway through the cycle, brings peak energy levels and could be an ideal time for more intense fasting if desired. Lastly, the Luteal Phase presents hormonal changes that might make fasting more challenging, emphasizing the need for gentle fasting strategies.”
During ovulatory phase women increase hours of fasting , and they can play with different kinds of fasting , like 24 hrs water fasting, low-carb fasting.
