“…More recent studies support the findings of luteal hyperphagia, [32][33][34][35] where women's EI has been reported to increase with as much as 90-500 kcal/day compared to the follicular phase. 33,34,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] Thus, most of the data from human studies also indicate that EI changes in response to changes in levels of ovarian hormones, and possibly to estrogens in particular. 37,41,45,47 This is supported by data on progesterone-treated ovariectomized rats, where progesterone had no apparent effect on EI.…”

Impact of the menstrual cycle on determinants of energy balance: a putative role in weight loss attempts

2007

Women's weight and body composition is significantly influenced by the female sex-steroid hormones. Levels of these hormones fluctuate in a defined manner throughout the menstrual cycle and interact to modulate energy homeostasis. This paper reviews the scientific literature on the relationship between hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle and components of energy balance, with the aim of clarifying whether this influences weight loss in women. In the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle it appears that women's energy intake and energy expenditure are increased and they experience more frequent cravings for foods, particularly those high in carbohydrate and fat, than during the follicular phase. This suggests that the potential of the underlying physiology related to each phase of the menstrual cycle may be worth considering as an element in strategies to optimize weight loss. Studies are needed to assess the weight loss outcome of tailoring dietary recommendations and the degree of energy restriction to each menstrual phase throughout a weight management program, taking these preliminary findings into account.

“…However, although there are still controversies related to changes in energy consumption in the different phases of the menstrual cycle, changes have been observed in the amount of ingested macronutrients throughout the cycle such as concomitant increase in the consumption of carbohydrates and lipids and reduction in proteins [1,4,[17][18][19]. The present study found results similar to those reported in literature such as reduction in protein intake during the luteal phase.…”

“…The present study found results similar to those reported in literature such as reduction in protein intake during the luteal phase. Some studies indicate reduction in protein intake days before menstrual bleeding [20] and in the bleeding period [21], as well as increase in the intake of carbohydrates and lipids [4,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

“…Clinical studies report that appetite and eating behavior (Buffenstein et al, 1995;Dye and Blundell, 1997), energy intake (Dalvit, 1981;Lissner et al, 1988;Martini et al, 1994) and energy expenditure vary across the menstrual cycle (Solomon et al, 1982). Food or energy intake (kcal consumed per day) and energy expenditure (kcal per kg of body weight expended per day) usually are higher during the luteal phase, when estradiol levels are moderate and progesterone levels are high, than during the follicular phase, when both estradiol and progesterone levels are low (Dalvit, 1981;Lissner et al, 1988;Li et al, 1999;Pelkman et al, 2001). Eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa may also fluctuate in severity across the menstrual cycle.…”

Clinical and preclinical data suggest that fluctuations in ovarian steroid hormones across the menstrual/estrous cycle influence spontaneous feeding behavior in females. The effects of gender, menstrual cycle phase, and ovarian hormone fluctuations on food-maintained responding under a progressive-ratio schedule were investigated in four female and three male cynomolgus monkeys. Females were studied across 21 menstrual cycles, and ovulatory cycles were defined by analysis of ovarian steroid hormone levels. Data were analyzed for the early and mid-follicular phase and the mid-and late-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Progressive-ratio break points for food were significantly higher in males than in females (p < 0.01). However, progressive-ratio break points did not vary consistently as a function of menstrual cycle phase during ovulatory cycles. There were no systematic patterns of progressive ratio break points in anovulatory menstrual cycles. Only one female monkey reached significantly higher break points during the mid-and late luteal phases in comparison to the mid-follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (p < 0.05). There was also a significant positive correlation between progressive-ratio break points and progesterone levels and a significant negative correlation with estradiol in that monkey. Although fluctuations in ovarian steroid hormones may influence food consumption under some conditions, consistent patterns of food-maintained responding were not detected during ovulatory menstrual cycles in cynomolgus monkeys.
