Abstract in brief

The study examined how female bodybuilders' diet and weight changed from about a month before to after a competition, finding that they lost weight before and gained weight after, with some urine samples indicating a longer menstrual cycle post-competition.
Just before competition, they followed a modestly restricted, balanced diet high in carbs and low in fat, but immediately after, their calorie intake and fat consumption increased dramatically.
These intense dieting and subsequent overeating behaviors may cause hormonal disruptions and menstrual cycle disturbances commonly seen in female athletes involved in bodybuilding competitions.
