What role does Progesteron play in Abnehmen?

Progesterone is a sex hormone primarily involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Regarding weight loss, there is no direct evidence that progesterone promotes fat reduction. Instead, it may cause fluid retention and increased appetite, which can hinder weight loss. In hormone replacement therapy (HRT), progesterone is often combined with estrogen; some women experience weight gain rather than loss. Mechanistic studies suggest a slight increase in resting metabolic rate, but the effect is small and inconsistent. The evidence is mostly mechanistic and observational; no high-quality RCTs support progesterone as a weight loss agent. Caveat: Do not use progesterone for weight loss due to risks (thrombosis, mood changes). If hormonal imbalances (e.g., PCOS) are suspected, consult a physician.
