How long would you have to starve yourself for amenorrhea to take affect?

Depends: In this situaation, amenorrhea occurs because the pituitary is shutting down due to weight loss and malnutrition. The point when this occur is different for everyone. You can't predict it. That being said, it's never a good idea to "starve" yourself for anything!, even for weight loss.
