Science-Backed + Practical Advice
During the first half of your cycle (follicular phase), rising estrogen can
suppress appetite and increase your body’s ability to burn fat. This makes
it the best time to fast — your cravings are low and your metabolism is
geared for fat-burning. After ovulation, progesterone increases appetite
and shifts your metabolism toward storing fat, making it a better time to
focus on low-carb eating instead of long fasts.
In menopause, estrogen levels drop, appetite increases, and your bod
starts burning more glucose than fat. This metabolic shift makes weight
gain easier and fat loss harder — but it’s manageable with the right fasting
strategies.
