My friend hasn't had her period since xmas!?

Question

I have a friend who is desperate to lose weight and is on a ridiculous diet, she eats so little (like about 3 beans, no meat and a stick of celery) it's really worrying for my friends and i and we have tried everything to get her to eat properly but she won't. She recently told us that she hadn't had her period since christmas (8 months) is this due to the ridiculous dieting and how can we make her stop all this?

Answer 1

tell your friend to talk to a doctor of some sort immediatly, as this is not a healthy way of losing weight. this is called anorexia. she needs help before its too late. better ways of losing weight are excersizing for at least an hour each day, drinking plenty of water and other fluids, eating lots of fruits and veggies and only eating when hungry  

Answer 2

YES, lack of food can damage menstrual functions and other body functions also. Please read carefully the information below and make correct advices to your friend
