no period

[wallermc]

i have not had a period in over 8 months. my intuition is telling me i need to eat meat, and i am about to give in out of desperation. i eat a healing macro diet, with extra fat and protein, and still binge on a weekly or bi-weekly basis on loads of fat. i feel sick doing so, and as soon as i feel well again, i go back to the food for comfort.

today happens to be one of those days i am tempted to give up macrobiotics altogether, do not know how i will be able to continue and feel imprisoned by the diet mentality.

HELP!!!

waller, i have recently suffered a similar problem. for 7 months i was without period up until 2 months ago. my doctor told me it was the change in diet. has ur change to MB been an extreme or sudden one? the body often takes a while to get used to it. i have been Macro more a little over a year, the first few months were fine but my body went into a shock and didnt menstruate for a while, its very normal. keep eating as u are, u dont have to binge, just eat a good moderate amount of fat throughout each day, binging isnt very good for u with any type of food. mkae sure to eat a wide range of fats and proteins, and if ur period doesnt come back within maybe 3 more months i suggest u see a doctor and get a blood test for your hormones and such. otherwise keep optimistic and i wish u the best of luck.
