    PS for the amenorrhea this bit is especially relevant:

    Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea is a synonym for what is often called the Female Athlete Triad: inadequate and improperly timed energy intake combined with amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea (absent or infrequent menstruation) and reduced bone mineral density. It is the result of anorexia athletica. Therefore the same recovery guidelines apply for the presence of the functional hypothalamic amenorrhea or female athlete triad as apply to any other facet of the same restrictive eating disorder spectrum.

    Thank you purplepiggy - I'll be spending some time reading that blog this evening! Thankfully it's Sunday :smile:

    You're welcome, I just thought it ws very eye-opening and I am currently trialling eating 1900-2000 cals per day in the hope I can maybe 'heal' my body as it discusses
