Personal Question
I'm kind of embarrassed but figured if I couldn't ask you experienced LCer's then who could I ask.
Has anybody experienced menstrual cycle changes while on a LC program? Long story short- I finished induction without experiencing significant weight loss. With the help of some people on this board, I determined that I wasn't eating enough. I have adjusted my food consumption to include more fat, protein and calories. For 5 days now, I have been using fitday and really being meticulous in recording what I eat. Unfortunately, still no significant loss (about a pound- give or take depending on water retention). When I was not eating enough I began experiencing "spotting". Now that I have modified my diet, it seems as if I am having a full blown period. The thing is, I am mid-cycle and shouldn't be.
I am re-reading my book but haven't seen this topic addressed.
Thanks and I'm going to post this immediately before I change my mind.
Laura
