The normal menstrual cycle exists solely to allow the lining of the uterus to build up to accept implantation of a fertilized egg, and if that doesn't happen the lining must be shed (during a woman's period.) Since this cannot happen for us, what is the point of mimicking that cycle?
I understand and agree with your basic point here, but for me personally I'm fairly sure that varying my intake levels does have an effect on growth, and I'm fairly convinced that my body responds to the change in levels as much as the absolute level. Maybe this is part of the feedback loop effect, I don't know.
