Answers:
We actually aren't meant to have all that blood dripping from our vagina's!. We only do because of the unnatural diets we possess!. You lost your period because you were in better health!. Women who have a heavy flows during their period and lots of cramps have something to worry about!.

Animals in the wild never have "periods", domestic animals do because of the unnatural processed diet they're fed!. I don't get my period regularly!. I can't even remember the last time I had it!. Sometimes it will drop in randomly and fade within 3 days, like I said I cant even remember the last time that was!.

Jenn is a perfect example of my point!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You were not eating enough fat, is the likely cause!.
Once your body sees that there is a situation where there is a food/nutrition shortage, the reproductive process is shut down until better times come along!. Try adding oils to your diet such as flax and hemp!. I assume you were eating healthily otherwise, but your overall diet might have been lacking!. Distance athletes' periods will stop when their body fat goes down during their intensive training periods leading up to competition!.

That said, I know someone who is not thin, a little chubby, and she hasn't had her period for something like 9 years!. I don' t know her well enough to see what the problem is!.!.!. but obviously something is wrong, although she claims to feel completely fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Since when is bleeding and feeling pain a sign of malnutrition!?

If I'm malnourished because I don't get my period (I'm a strict vegetarian), than why have I not gotten sick in over a year!? Where as before I got heavy periods, and I ate the worst junk you could imagine, getting sick probably once every month!? My period slowly disapeared the more and more I started looking after my diet, eventually cutting out meat all together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hmmm, im a vegan, 15 years old, and i got mine once!. Its gone away ever since and its a little scary!. I think the only thing it has to do with is not eating properly!. Chicken is an easy fix to get nutrition probably, but a person can, obviously, live without it!. I think you should just manage your veggie diet better!. thats what im doing =/

good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com

you're probably having some deficiency from not eating like a vegetarian should!.
it is normal to skip periods, and sometimes there are other reasons behind it (polycystic ovarian syndrome and hormone issues)!.
but i really doubt it's from being a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Losing your period has nothing to do with eating meat or not!. It can stop due to illness or weight loss!. I would see your gyno immediately!. You may have something else wrong!. I've been vegan for 6 years and have never missed a period!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

san women in africa eat food that is low in fat, so mostly they can get pregnant/get periods at the age of 18!. and they are omnivores!. if you dont have enough body fat, periods wont come!. however irregular periods are quite often!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You probably didn't get your period because of malnutrition!. You have to be careful on a vegetarian/vegan diet!. It's easy to become malnourished when people have this idea that they're healthy just because they don't eat meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
