Dry Skin

[mon]

Hi
I was just thinking, I have been on this diet for 6 weeks and have started to get dry skin and scalp.
Has anyone else had this problem while doing atkins.
The reason im asking is I have never had dry scalp before or skin that looks like flake citl. lol

Hum, I think some one else complained about dry skin. Are you taking essential oils and supplements?

Also double check the amount of water you are supposed to be drinking. Water is critical because our bodies need the hydration.

I'd have to second the essential oils. I've had experience with my cat...her story:

I have an 18 year old cat, long hair black. She suffered from lots of big flakes of dandruff. I had gotten some Brewers yeast with garlic for the dogs, good for shedding. I tried it on my cats to see who would eat them..anything to help with shedding.

Well, after awhile I noticed she had just a tiny bit of tiny specks of dandruff.

Because of health problems in Jan she didn't get Brewers yeast for 10 months. Her dandruff came back...lots of big flakes. So, we started giving her about 6 or more throughout the day. Her flakes are gone.

Brewers yeast has omega oils in it, and the bottle says one of the things is to repair damaged skin.
