Hair Loss

[pebbles36]

I am VERY concerned about the amount of hair I am losing consistently for bout the past 2 months.

I read (can't remember where, on one of the boards) about hair loss that it should stop and go back to normal. Does anyone know how long this will last. I am getting very concerned.

In my "past diet life", I went on a very low calorie diet (real low) bout 400-500 daily and lost tons of weight.....I started at 250 went down to 110 in bout 4 months.....I REALLY abused my body by doing this......I lost almost ALL my hair doing this....Everyone thought I had cancer because of the hair and weight loss....you could see bald spots........that's a whole other story about that diet.....

That is why I am so concerned about my hair now. Can anyone suggest a type of vitamin to help ( I am taking Weight Smart now by One A Day). They used to make a vitamin called Nourishair at GNC that I took for the problem before but now I can't find it.

I make sure that I am eating plenty of protein (I always have since loosing almost all my hair back then). I am proally eating 15-20 oz of protein a day.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any suggestion would help

Thanks

I went through this phase too - for me it lasted about 4-5 months. Losing hair can be the result of any stress on the body - including losing weight - so many people go through this. Yes, it is a difficult time. Keep taking your multi vitamins - are you also taking your omega-3/6?

Take a look at some of these threads:

I remember reading something on one of the boards about hair loss but it wasn't that one. It has great info on it!

Thanks Talon and Lisa It is nice to know that I am not the only one who is worried about this.

I don't take omega 3 but if it will help. I will take anything as long as it will help.

I am just concerned. I don't want a repeat of what happened to me before.

Thanks for responding so soon!!!

Have A Great Low Carb Day!
