Hey Guys!! Have any of you experienced hair loss while low carbing? I have lost quite a bit of hair. Please let me know......

It's quite common, and not particular to low carb plans. Any type of significant weight loss can "shock" the body and result in temporary hair loss. Take heart though; as many have experienced, it may grow back even more luxurious than before. :)

The more rapid the weight loss, the more hair you will lose. Temporary thankfully. If I had to do this again, I would try lose more slowly. But all bodies are different. Some will lose very slowly, others the fat will melt off (along with some hair). Don't fret...it will grow back
