periods on CD (sorry boys!)

Hi there,
Bit of a sensitive issue but has this diet affected anyones period?
I have the implant fitted so have some odd spotting every so often but this week i have really bad cramps and have been bleeding for 4 days already really heavily.
I forgot how bad periods can be.
Is this anything to do with the diet?
please help

The diet definately affects periods and is a common comment I get from clients.

You could find that the reason for this is that the implant is gauged to the weight that they suspect you will continue to be.

Another thing to be aware of is that fat contains a lot of Oestrogen therefore as you loose weight it is leached back into the system in large quantities, I learnt this the hard way when I first started, not only was I evil (PMT) but also I actually had some periods (am going through the change so they are few and far between) also found my libido returned.

So for a while you will experience this sort of problem, but get out the Water Hottle Bottle and pain killers.

Sorry to spring this crap on you!!

Actually, one thing I have noticed from the kids I work with is that the boys these days are actually more tuned in than the girls are to these things!!!!

Incidently as well, your body stores toxins in fat as well as oestragen.. When you break down the fat the toxins are excreted - when you pee etc, through your skin, through the water in your breath when you breathe out - but also through your period... So that can be another reason why you're periods are heavier!
