If a girl does not have an illness, why might she have lost a lot of weight and become underweight?
I have been going through a rough patch of getting out of the cycle of overtraining and being undernourished. I had a team nutritionist and psychologist help me gain 13 kg in 7 months. Because of many years of restrictions, my body has been hungry and tired. I have had a lot of overeating episodes, consuming around 10,000 calories a day, mostly from whole foods. I'm okay with the weight gain; I'm now at around 63-64 kg, and I'm 175 cm tall and female. However, I still haven't gotten my period back. I try to do strength training to get a better body composition, but often I just end up overeating and feeling bad again. I feel like I am in a really bad spiral. What should I do?
