How would significant weight loss affect a woman's mentrual cycle?!
Question: If a woman loses a lot of weight quickly, the body believes that it can not sustain a second life at that time (fools the body into thinking it is starving), so it pushes the period back, even if a woman has enough fat at the time. If a woman dips below 15% body fat, a menstrual cycle can stop completely until she increases her body fat percentage.

A certain percentage of body fat is required to produce enough estrogen to produce a period, so if anorexic, then menses could cease completely.

It can cause it to get off schedule, and be really short/light, or stop completely.
Girl with anorexia often stop getting their period.
