    Others have had the same thing happen to them. It is a temporary thing but it does take several months for your hair to regrow so it will be frustrating. Wish I had an easy answer for you but thats how it seems to go in the posts I have read in the past.

    GOAL ONE 228     (take 2)
    GOAL TWO 213 (personal goal)
    GOAL THREE 199 ONE-DERLAND
    FINAL GOAL 165

     It's not about the results. Its about the process.

      From previous threads, the general consensus and supporting article links posted seemed to point to the cause being rapid weight loss, not any particular diet or eating plan.

        If you search this site on keywords "hair loss," you should find some previous topics.

        A couple of links you might find interesting:

          Some people experience this with weight loss. The hair grows back after a while, so don't be overly concerned. It just takes time... but I know how frustrating it must be. Hang in there.

            Hi there,
            I experienced this when I initially lost all my weight. It's a common side effect. A great supplement to take for this is Biotin. It will help you from thinning more and help the hair grow back. It will grow back.
