| Sorry to hear that. If anything, my hair is getting thicker and stronger. Even my mom mentioned it to me last time I saw her. |

| Perhaps you're eating low-carb rather than the SB way? That can be a symptom of an Atkins-type plan. Please see your doctor to make sure you're not hurting yourself or sick with something. |

My hair and nails are gettin stronger since I have been in this diet for a year now.
I mentioned to my DH yesterday. My hair stylist mentioned last time I had a hair cut too. My nails don't break like they used too :wink: |

I too lost hair on the diet. I started in January and lost 44 pounds by June. I have maintained since then.
I started losing hair about 3 months after I started the diet. I talked to a lot of people and did research on the internet. I then went to my doctor for confirmation on what I had researched.
I found out that the diet was a shock to my system. The doctor told me that once I started maintaining my weight that within about a month, my hairloss would stop. He ran numerous tests on me just to be sure that was the problem. All my tests came back showing I was just fine. In June, when I reached my goal, about 4 weeks later the hairloss had stopped. |

If you are experiencing hair loss you are NOT EATING ENOUGH.
That's a symptom of anorexia. |

| Since none of us know what you eat, how often you eat, or how much you normally eat, it's probably best for you to go to your doctor and let him determine the cause of the hair loss. :) In my case it had nothing to do with anorexia. I had ate so poorly before the diet, and changed my way of eating so drastically, that I shocked my system, which resulted in hair loss. Just like my doctor said, once I maintained my weight, it would soon stop, and it did. I am much healthier and happier since going on the SBD. Best of luck to you! |

Well, your doctor would know more than me!!
But it IS a symptom of an eating disorder, so just be careful. |
