Is it normal for me to have menstrual irregularities while on Fat Flush?

Regardless of which new eating plain you embark upon, missed cycles can occur. With the Fat Flush Plan, I have found that choosing a GLA source from black currant seed oil rather than the evening primrose oil or borage is your best bet to assure that the monthly cycle is not interrupted. GLA from black currant seed oil provides a better omega 3 to omega 6 ratio, which helps to balance hormones more smoothly. Some women who use evening primrose oil have reported breakthrough bleeding and spotting which goes away quickly when they switch to black currant seed oil.

Also, it has been my experience that when women's body fat is lower than 17 or 18 percent, periods stop. A consequence of increased fat loss is the depletion of estrogen stores, which includes cessation of menstrual periods. A three to five pound weight gain can remedy this situation quite effortlessly and effectively.
