Has changing your diet to a vegetarian diet affected your period?

Question

My period ended up a little late (about 3 days) and a little on the lighter side from how it's usually is. I also started my vegetarian diet about 3 weeks ago, so could this be from the low levels of iron? ....I just need someone with experience to educate me🤗😂

Answer

Most likely not.
Hormones can change at any time.  As long as you're still getting all the nutrition you need, your body isn't making a record of where it came from. Your body doesn't know if you're a vegetarian.  It only knows if you get enough protein, fat, carbs, vitamins, minerals, and water.

Answer

When cutting out meat you also cutting out iron. Eat a lot of green vegetables, beans and proteins to make sure your blood count is high enough.

Answer

If you're not getting the right amount of necessary nutrients, then it can. 
Fat soluble vitamins, high heathy fat and low carb is healthy, and a big part of eating meat. When you cut out meat, if you're eating shit then yoi very well can harm your body. For health reasons, I never recommend cutting out meat. Its healthy. But if you do, you NEED to make sure you're getting what you're missing and not filling your body with a lot of processed carbs, sugar, bad oils (like canola, seed oils, vegetable oil, etc).
