Yes, losing weight can affect your menstrual cycle. This happens for several reasons. One, it is due to a lack of body fat, particularly brown adipose tissue around the midsection. The body will try not to allow pregnancy if you do not have the physical resources to protect that pregnancy. Also, any large weight adjustment causes a shift in hormones, because estrogen release is partially based on your fat cells. When you lose a large amount of weight, estrogen automatically declines. If you stop losing this weight at a healthy weight, once your body adjusts to the new amount of hormones, you should return to normal. Another reason for lack of menstruation after weight loss is poor nutrition, related to a lack of iron, zinc and lack of healthy dietary fats. Regardless of how much you exercise, or how much you weigh - if you have a lack of iron, zinc and healthy fat in your diet, you can develop amenorrhea.
Stress is the second most common cause of late or missed periods. It may be emotional stress or depression. It may be another type of physical stress to the body, such as a severe illness, a sexually transmitted infection, RAPID weight loss or GAIN, or strenuous exercise. Dieting or binging and purging may interrupt menstrual cycles. Changes in your usual routine (for example, going on vacation) may also cause your period to be late or missed.
normal
well, she isn't on a balanced diet, and she's stressed which both cause fluctuations in her cycle.
oh no how terrible someone call the pms police, oh please
If you lose to the point of no body fat then you will stop periods and burn only muscle it is very very dangers do not do this
simply....extremely unhealthy to skip food...especially to work out your body when there is nothing in it to run it. Periods are wacky...stress....change in diet...anything can change the flow of the period (no pun intended)
Loosing wait by skipping meals and exercising to much is the reason why you're missing your period
I think it's a survival thing. Women need a certain amount of body fat, and once this starts to diminish the body reacts because the woman is no longer in good condition to bear a child.
It's also why many anorexic women cease to get a period at all. They're simply making themselves infertile by having too little body fat.
Uhh... she's pregnant? ......Am I right?? lol
Since a women is not eating all of her daily nutrients, and is doing a lot of exercising her periods are going to stop. a women has to eat nutrients to get her period and body in balance.
yes your body wont be worried about producing eggs so it uses the energy
Well, because if you're skipping meals your body doesn't have a lot of energy, so it's saving as much as it can by skipping out the unnecessary stuff. Also, if someone isn't getting enough food, they're not gonna have enough energy for a baby to grow if they became pregnant, so the body stops menstruation so they can't.
