Are you still taking this? Did it continue to grow? |
Hi I had so much hair loss that I the front of my scalp is almost starting to show. I had to stop for 6 months and in that time I took tons of biotin. My hair stopped falling out. I have been on IP again for two weeks and so far so good. I will see how it fairs out in the next month or so. Also I was told by my doctor to use ROgain. But I heard it has some serious side affects

I am returning to IP after being off for 6 months. I experienced hair loss after 2 1/2 months. My hair thinned ALOT! Luckily I have thick hair but I tell you, I was SICK about it. Since being off my hair is growing back. I am DREADING hair loss again... I took Biotin, extra B vitamins, omegas... Still lost hair. I really think people should be made aware of the side effect of the diet do they are not as sick about it as I was. I bawled my eyes out over it. But I am back.
Rogain? I dunno... Will have to look into that a little more before I jump on ship with that stuff! |
Well I am starting to get really scared here, I have lost so much hair. I have short hair as it is a bob cut, and it has always been think. The last month or so it just keeps coming out. I am taking the Biotin, Insoloin, Omega 3,6,9 and it seems to have slowed down a bit but its still coming out. I can see my scalp and I am not sure what to do. I am only 30 I don't want to lose all my hair. I started phase 2 yesterday so hopefully phasing off the diet helps if not anyone have any recommendations on what I can do????????????

Whadda ya do? |
I have noticed that it is starting to come out again, but not as fast as it was before. I literally clogged the drain in the shower every week when I did IP before. Now I make sure to brush my hair before showering so it all just gets caught in the brush. I hope it doesn't get as bad as it did last time, because it was a LOT! That was also around the time I stopped IP as well. Had me worried. But at least now I know that it is just temporary!

I asked my coach about this and she advised me to have a soft-boiled or poached egg a day (make sure the yolk is runny). This is in addition to the regular amount of protein. She also recommended an herbal supplement for hair, skin and nails. I think it has made an improvement. I've only been doing it a week or so and I have not noticed a stall in weight loss, but my hair seems to be staying put!

My hair didn't start falling out until about 8 weeks on IP... Just sayin' |
This is scary! I'm 5 1/2 wks in, and not seeing this yet, but I don't have any hair to spare!! I did IP 2 yrs ago for 2 months, and began seeing some hair loss right before I quit IP to go on vacation. This time I am taking biotin every day. No hair loss yet, but it is unbelievably shiny and full looking, and my fingernails have never been so long! I have weak nails and can never grow them, but they are crazy long and strong right now.
Still, I look down in the shower every day in fear that my hair will start falling out, yikes ......:yikes: |

I have been reading up on remedies and looks like you can buy a powder to blend in with your hair so it is not so noticeable. I don't know if I am desperate enough to go there yet, but soon I will be.

I suspect the hair loss is due to downregulation of sex and thyroid hormone action. This occurs on many very low carb diets because carbs are necessary for the generation of active thyroid hormone and the production of sex hormones. An egg won't help there.

I was sure I was hypothyroid lady time I was on but my bloodworm showed otherwise. This diet messed with my TOM as well... I completely missed one month... That never happens with me They say that fat releases estrogen so when we lose fat we free up with lots of extra... I believe that. I dunno... I just don't like it. I tried all the vitamins, herbs, supplements and have decided that if it happens again then I have to deal with it... Sigh |
BTW LOLO70.... Fantastic weight loss!
Wow! Crazy good! |
