I’ve been doing Atkins for a month now… I’ve lost a lot of weight, I feel so much healthier, and I really feel like this is my niche to achieve the goals I want for myself.
The problem is this diet is seriously messing with my cycle. I started early last month, by a week, and had my lady time for 11 days. Two weeks later, it has started again, and again it is still a week early. Have any other women had trouble with this? I have been looking online and read a few articles about it happening, but I’m not sure if this is permanent change in my body or a temporary adjustment?
I definitely know that any change in your life can affect your cycle. I did the master cleanse and my cycle got all messed up because it seriously was like it “rebooted” my body. I’m doing Atkins as well (I just started) so I haven’t noticed yet but any little change in things, for me anyway, my cycle definitely changes. Either it’s late, a lot heavier, or it doesn’t even come at all. I think your body just needs to adjust to the new diet, since it has only been a month.
I have a question though, if you don’t mind me asking, do you exercise along with the diet? I noticed you said you lost a lot of weight so I was just wondering.
REPLY: Thank you for responding (: I have no idea why it wouldn’t let you add me; I tried to add you as well but it wouldn’t work. I’m going to start working out tomorrow. I was thinking about doing p90x. I have about 48 lbs. to lose until I am at my goal weight and I really want to do that by the New Year. Congratulations though, for taking control. Major kudos. I’m really excited to start this new chapter in my life.
