Hi everyone,
I know that periods can be affected when on a VLCD but just wanted to hear other peoples experiences and when they started to level out.
I started the cambridge diet just over 2 weeks ago. I've lost 11lbs and have switched over to Slim and Save today. I'm on the mini pill and don't have periods but since I started the diet 2 weeks ago I had constant spotting and have had a period for the last week. It's really getting me down as the cramps and everything that goes with it (spots,greasy hair,emotional etc) is horrible. My periods were always light or non existent so I don't know why they are so bad. I also used to be anaemic so I don't want this to carry on much longer but i'm desperate not to come off VLCD until i've reached my goal. Any tips on what I can do would be VERY much appreciated - just feeling a bit emotional tonight.
