Mine has. I was suppose to get my period around March 22nd and still havent.

Is it possible you are losing weight "too" quickly? Because if the body senses a famine it may not be the best time to have children and ovulation slows or stops. I have lost only 25 lbs in the past 9 months, and my cycles are verrrry regular. Almost too regular, I'd like a break every now and then!

Insulin is a hormone. When insulin is manipulated other hormones will follow, namely, estrogen. Low carb is a form of insulin therapy which is why women with PCOS are encouraged to do some form of low carb diet. Therefore, not only does this affect menses in women with PCOS it affects women with regular periods. This is a common phenomena the generally regulates itself, however, it could also be something more serious. The best answer is to get checked by your doctor and if he/she says there is nothing wrong then it is probaably your diet. If they find something then you will know that also.

I've been on the pill for years and since I've been eating lc I often skip my periods.

My periods were always irregular until I started Atkins. Since then they've been 28 days consistently.
