Why does a girl feel fat during her period?

Some females feel bloated during their periods due to their body holding in more salt. The less salt you eat during your period, and the more fresh food you eat the better you will feel. It’s normal to also gain a few pounds while on your period due to your body absorbing and holding in fluids more. Girls will notice when their period ends that they lose a pound or two which is usually just water weight.
