Hi,
Diet pills, dieting and exercise can all cause changes in menstrual cycle. The reason is they cause some hormonal changes which can indirectly effect periods. It is also advisable for you to go for a pregnancy test first to role out pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
