Question to everybody here

Posted on January 30, 2018

Hello to everybody! Here on db, I have realized, it’s the perfect place to check an information I’ve read once in a book about the power of moon: Allegedly by increasing /waxing moon, especially by full moon, it’s difficult to lose weight. So, my question: Have you noticed smth like that? I.e., have you noticed that periodically (like the last 2 weeks) losing weight is more difficult than usually?

Tomorrow is full moon. I’ll be here again in 2 weeks, and ask you again the same question. If you notice that, conversely, the next about 2 weeeks (i.e., by decreasing / waning moon) indeed it’s easier to lose weight, please let me know!

Comment Now!

Yes, hormones are affected by the moon cycle. Yes lunacy does exist, well, that's just a guess based on enough circumstantial evidence for a phenomenon to make it into the dictionary.Whilst I've not heard about it being harder or easier to lose weight under a because of the moon before, the darn thing is a third of the size of earth....though waxing \ waning, surely that's just perspectives and shadows....so....meh...Personally it's going to be one of those many things that won't make any difference to any of us.... yes numbers on the scales are awesome, but don't we only use those on the journey to body happiness and health?

Why not Moon influences hormones, these influence the metabolism... ?But that was not my point. About „just perspectives and shadows”: Beneath them there is also gravitation/gravity and who knows what other fields from both Moon and Sun. By new moon influences from both come from the same direction. But by full moon Sun is right and Moon is left – so are their influences too. (...I could hear : ) the water in me: Sun is pulling me right and Moon to the left, whereto should I go? I’d better stay here : ) )If Moon affects the water in the oceans (tides), it MIGHT somehow influence the water in our bodies too. That was my question about. Here on db it’s the perfect place for such a statistics. I, for one, weighed definitely less then expected today in the morning, but that could be just a coincidence!

No I truly haven't found that to be a problem as long as I stick to my diet and my exercise I keep losing a little bit at a time

Interesting! I had no idea about this, thank you! I'll look for infos. Over the years I've tried to check by myself the thing with the moon, but I can't switch off subjectivity, hence cannot say neither True or False. Heeey, you from db are the most entitled to write a page with all kind of hints, checked or just supposed to help us by dieting!

Females are going to have more issues based on where they are in their menstrual cycle. I don't remember off the top of my head whether it's before or after ovulation that it gets problematic, but there's research about it out there. I'm thinking how hormones line up is going to have more of a causal impact. If they happen to line up with the moon, great, otherwise... it's just coincidence.
