Hair loss????

[jennyj]

Hi Everyone ~ I've noticed that I'm losing a lot more hair than is typically normal. Thankfully I have a lot of hair and can spare to lose some! Anyone else having this issue and please tell me that it will stop at some point!!!

Re: Hair loss????

Yes, I have experienced the same thing. I was on Atkins a few years ago for 2 years. I noticed more hair in the drain after showers AND it was in my hands when I'd wash my hair. I thought it was just age. However, come to think of it, it stopped after I was off Atkin's for a while. Hmmmmm...

I did not use vitamins that time around. Are you? That might help. I, like you, have plenty of hair so it was never a problem. It was falling out like crazy but it still looked the same. It really makes no sense though. My nails always get stronger on Atkin's, so why the hair loss??? Maybe it's growing in so fast it has to fall out faster. LOL

Yep, I'm taking One-A-Day Carb Smart and it has 150% of the daily recommendations of biotin, which I've heard is helpful with hair loss, so if that's not helping..... what now?

Re: Hair loss????

Every diet where you start losing a nice amount of your weight will do that to you, it is not just on Atkins, what will help definitely is make sure you take your vitamins.
You could do a search on the topic on adbb, it has been discussed before

Oh man, I've experienced this hair loss before too. Um, if your hair is long I'd suggest cut it shoulder length my help too. The length tugs on it and makes it fall out faster, plus shorter gives it a very full look :P
