Woman's Issues- Advice please!
For the past month I have done a watered down version of the CSD (2 weeks worth with 2 weeks break in the middle) and drastically increased my exercise, only abs and walking, stretching etc not weights or heavy cardio.
The first time I did the CSD I started on a Thursday and my period was due on the following wednesday (I am on the pill). My period came on Sunday, was heavier and lasted longer than usual.
This past week I did the CSD again starting thursday and finished last wednesday. I got my period today (Friday!!) it is now way earlier than it should be. I am still taking my active pills and shouldn't have it yet. I am a bit worried, anyone else had this?

Yes, that is not unusual. It can happen on any diet. I think that losing weight affects your hormones. Can't say how because I am not a medical professional, but this definitely happens to me. If it is not early, it is intermittant spotting mid cycle.

Don't worry. It is completely normal for your period to fluctuate when losing or gaining weight. Just another way we react to change. If it persists, you may want to see someone, but if you eat healthy, regular meals inbetween weeks of the diet, you will be fine.

I haven't had this problem. Have you tried dieting day 1-14 of your cycle instead of the tail end? I THINK teh most hormonal fluctuations are kinda days 7-17-ish and if you diet in those days, the uptake of your diet pill could be affected. The other think you can look up is whether acidity affects the absorption of your pill. I imagine if its too acidic - the pill may break down easier. I know my stomach is with all the citrus and fruits - tend to be acidic. I would ask the doctor - I am talking alkaseltzers now and then because I am on some medications.
ON another woman issue...today is day 5 - everything going fantastic - premenstrual just had a clash with cabbage soup diet and all I want right now is to exchange 10ounces of meat with 10 ounces of chocolate..a slice of bread..I would even take! YIKES. I ahve 6 more hours of day left and I have already eaten 15 oz of meat! YIKES!! I might just have a REALLY REALLY early day today and sleep before i eat anymore.
