First of all, I don't think I am pregnant (always a possibility, though). I am a couple days late for my period...but in the past month my husband and I did a pretty intense detox. One day fasting with 14 days entirely whole foods. (No meat, dairy, ANYthing processed) I am just wondering if this could have disrupted my cycle?

it probably could have, it's better if you check with your ob-gyn though.

it could. when you are loosing blood during menstruation your body produces more blood cells to compensate for the loss. an important component in certain foods that will help your body produce more blood cells is iron. iron also serves another purpose in the blood. it has a role in making hemoglobin, part of the red blood cells, which supplies oxygen to the body.
try eating more iron-rich foods like
meats(fish, red meats), eggs, green leafy veggies, dried fruit, nuts, peanut butter, and grains
if this does not help in regulating your cycle, speak to your doctor

Yes. Not receiving the nutrients your body needs can disrupt your cycle.

Yes, actually it does. I lost a bunch of weight over a period of time and as I kept losing it, my cycles went haywire!!
See my pic?? Used to be 200lbs few years back. Not anymore.
Good luck, stay healthy!!
