whast up guys.  My gf recently started working out on a daily basis, and eating really clean.  She has been doing this for about a month now, maybe 3 weeks.

ANyway, she is a little over a week late with her period.  Do yous think that the diet and exercising could have an effect on something like that?

 

Thanks.

Most often when females are on very coloric restrited diets, and/or get below about 10% bodyfat periods become irregular, or will fail to happen at all. The body senses that there is no abunance of nutritional support for the potential baby and calls things off.

don't think shes under 10 though, but I figured that about the restricted cals.

thanks
 
I believe it's energy in/energy out, meaning if she's burning way more than she's eating she may become amenorrheic. It's generally considered to be a symptom of over-training. See Invalid Link Removed

hamper19 my (now-ex-)wife had exactly that problem. Turns out she wasn't EATING ENOUGH FAT. Her diet turned out to be about 3%fat and that got her hormones completely FUCKED.

She didn't take the clue, and after about a year of no period, her skin was looking like 15 years older... I ran away ;)
