YES. It's hard to find answers to this question online, but I have experienced menstruation changes myself on Atkins and have found a scarce few forums where other women also verify this. Basically, it's common for it to make you get your period when you aren't supposed to, early mainly. No one seems to know why, and Dr. Atkins never even touched the subject in any of his books, but it happens. My thoughts are that it could be the hormones from all the meats and cheese (even dairy cows get shot up with hormones!). It isn't a very nice surprise to get your time of the month early, but it does eventually level out again.
