A member asked:
If i start to walk 5 to 10 miles everyday and cut back on eating, then end up losing 5 pounds in 3 weeks, could my period be delayed or missed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Unless your body mass is already in the anorexic bmi category, 5 lbs. Will not change your period start.
