is it normal for my periods to have stopped since I started exercising and dieting ? It's now been two months since I last had a period.

I was kinda wondering that myself. I completely changed my diet, lifestyle and physical activity on May 3rd and I got my June period but my July now is late and I am never late...

It may happen yes, but anyway you should see your doctor

kaytlin, you need more fat. I read your other thread before finding this one.
Your sex hormones-estrogen,progesterone.etc. are made in your body from fat and cholesterol. Go to the library and get a good book on nutrition, please.

Well sometimes I'll be eating more than 20g of fat a day so I think it is alright. It catches up on other days where I'm eating less fat no ? im overweight so why cant they just take the fat off of my body to build those hormones ?

How much fat are you eating? 20 grams isn't really all that much. What percentage of your daily calories is fat?

today it was 16,9 % calories from fat. 13,7% protein and 66,9 carbohydrates.

Anytime you stop having periods consistently, a visit to the doctor can't hurt. While it could be the change in your diet and exercise coming as a "shock" to your system, it could also be something more serious. A doctor should be able to tell you for sure.

Please see a doctor.

If you are exercising too much, and also keeping your food intake too low, your body will stop having periods. This sometimes happens to women athletes. But, it's not a normal thing--and it's not a good way to lose weight. I'd check with your doctor, and tell him or her how much you're eating and exercising. You might be overdoing it.

Good luck!

When I was on a very low fat, low cal diet years ago, I quit having periods for 11 months. Did see my Dr. for it though. It definitely was not a healthy diet. I agree that it may be due to the low fat diet. Best to check with your Dr.

I agree, you should check with a doc. My cycle is also really sensitive to changes, especially in exercise. It's a mystery to me.

it can happen, absolutely. check a preg. test too! lol

I would check with your doctor. When I started losing weight I didnt have my period for 6 MONTHS.. I wasn't crazy dieting either and only exercising 3 to 4 times a week an hour a day..
So I went to my doctor about 3 months in and they did every check they could.. Everything was fine..so at first they said it was because I was over weight..and when I mentioned I was dieting and losing weight.. he said that it was that.. Yah smart docs.

I was on Atkins at the time so it wasn't the fat.. I know I was eating quite abit of it. lol

I have my period every month now and I am on south beach and exercise 6 days a week for 2 hours a day.. So I guess my body just balanced itself out.
