Because diet is one of the causes of amenorrhea

fitness model I would like this article to be able to adequately instruct and alert all those women who fight excess pounds by dieting , not only losing weight, even if in 94% of cases only temporarily, but above all their health and cycle. Yes, the cycle. Unless you suffer from particular ailments that have led to amenorrhea as a consequence (polycystic ovary syndrome, for example), one of the reasons why you have menstrual irregularities and miss your period even for 4 or 5 months in a row. or even for years it is the way you eat , and the use of drastic diets and wrong workouts that mess up your hormones but above all damage your health. In fact, one of the causes of amenorrheathere is not only weight loss, but also a diet lacking adequate nutrients, too intense training and stress . Too bad that both a poor diet and intense training are already a source of stress for the body, so it could be said that stress, of any kind, leads to fertility problems in women. To try to be clear, I list a series of things you need to know when you go on a diet, and the consequences of amenorrhea, but also how to solve the situation, with a very important premise.
If you want to have a healthy weight for life, be happy, feel good in your body, health is the first thing you should never neglect.We must not voluntarily mistreat our body even a second of our life: not only does this not help us to gain weight, but the consequences of our actions can lead us to gain much more weight than we were before starting the diet. The body wins, you don’t. Survival wins. Not yours or my ideas of healthy weight. A lean body without a period is a sick body, with a sick and slowed metabolism

Women with a healthy metabolism (and in the absence of pathologies) all have periods, have zero or almost no menstrual pain (did you know that metabolism affects menstrual pain?), And are fertile.
Women with a slow metabolism also begin to have problems in the sphere of fertility.
AMENORREA AND DIET: when can diet cause us amenorrhea?
– When we do a low- calorie diet : the lack of nutrients slows down the metabolism.
– When we are on a low-carb diet : Lack of carbohydrates slows down your metabolism and gets your hormones high. Women in particular need carbohydrates to be fertile, and adequate carbohydrate consumption also positively affects our desire and arousal.
– When we are obsessed with weight : stress, stress, stress. Obviously, getting too fat, like losing too much weight, also causes stress and cycle problems.

AMENORREA AND DIET: when does lifestyle cause us amenorrhea?
– In the case of intense workouts, for example daily, especially if the diet is already lacking, or simply intense: in this case, training potyroidism
can occur . – In case of a hectic lifestyle to which we have associated the diet, doubling the stress.
Questions that have been asked to me by women who miss their period due to reckless food choices
1) But how can fashion models be so thin? Mica miss the period!
Answer: Many models suffer from amenorrhea, in fact. As well as many female athletes. The fact that the protagonists of a glossy world do not come to talk about their weight and cycle problems, purges and other extreme practices does not mean that they are beautiful and healthy. Of course, there are models and athletes who are naturally thin or have an advantage in terms of metabolism and constitution, but they are not all like that.
2) But does amenorrhea cause you to be overweight? Any hormonal alteration can cause overweight, although many doctors including mine disagree. Many others are. Hormones and metabolism are closely linked. Amenorrhea can cause weight changes, water retention, insomnia, mood swings, fertility problems (two or three consecutive shortages are enough) and even problems related to cardiovascular and bone health.
For all these reasons and having suffered from diet amenorrhea myself in the past, my advice is to eat a balanced and highly nutritious diet, decreasing or modifying the impact of training and reducing other stressors.
