you know how if you starve yourself your period doesn't come? well if you don't eat while you're on it will it go away faster?

♥thanks♥

No, it wouldn't. The reason periods stop if you starve yourself is to do with not having enough body fat. Starving yourself for the few days of your period wouldn't do it. As the other person who commented said, it would be unhealthy.

No. Why would you do that just to make your period shorter?

No. Loss of periods with anorexia is, as far as I know, because your body can't cope with a pregnancy, and so doesn't ovulate. I can't imagine that the combination of blood loss and total lack of nutrients would do you any good in the short or long term, either.

I highly doubt that'd work. Not to mention that your body will have a hard time adjusting to no food which will cause all kinds of worse side effects than a long period.
