Low-carb and hypothalamic amenorrhea (period loss) stories
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:17 am
Greetings everyone!
This post is related to Lara's post (https://www.larabriden.com/have-you-los ... carb-diet/) and Zarah's period loss story from the Period Repair Manual book. Hypothalamic amenorrhea / Irregular periods -> Undereating -> Low-carb diets chapter.
Has anyone active here on the forum experienced period loss due to a low-carb diet too?
If you have recovered it, how long it took you to get your period back?
I was wondering whether an occasional high-intensity workout is OK during hypothalamic amenorrhea recovery, if it's not hard and lasts under 30 minutes. Of course considering that one compensates enough food before/after the workout not to be in an energy deficit. What do you think?
