A member asked:

Can switching to a vegan lifestyle delay your period? does not eating meat and dairy affect hormones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can: Your periods may change once you make a significant dietary change. As long as you are getting adequate calories, vital nutrients and protein in your diet the periods should eventually become regular again.
