If you came back from your holiday feeling swollen, puffy, and suddenly up 2–5kg, it isn’t fat. This is fluid retention, inflammation, glycogen storage, disrupted digestion, and hormones amplifying the whole thing. Perimenopause makes these shifts far more dramatic because estrogen spikes, progesterone drops, and cortisol rises.

Salt-heavy restaurant meals, extra carbs, less water, alcohol, broken sleep, travel stress, and hormonal swings all combine into the perfect storm. This is why you feel like your stomach has doubled in size overnight. Nothing is wrong with you. Your body is responding exactly as expected.

Once you’re home and back into your normal rhythm, the fluid drops. Hydration, wholefoods, potassium, magnesium, walking, and solid sleep all help your body regulate again. Most women see this settle within a few days to a week.
