Re: Lost my period | | It could be extra estrogen being released together with the fat or some other hormonal imbalance or a urinary infection or a bunch of other reasons. Did you see your doctor before starting Atkins?
It's a good idea to see your doctor if you miss your period. It could be nothing, but it's not something you want to play with.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
