This is what I always expect as a response to a general observation--all the
exceptions. Of course there are exceptions. But, I did not say that I have
never seen anyone who eats a high protein or high fat diet or who has a lot
of body fat have long periods of LA. What I said is that in the (relatively
small) sample of my friends and clients, those women who have had early
return of menses did have diets or body compositions as described. They are
completely different observations.
