Hair falling out

[Gina]

I heard that a lot of diets, if you follow them too long, they can make your hair start falling out. Is that true? If it is, can somebody tell me which ones are the ones that are known to do that because I really don’t want to have my hair fall out, I just want to lose weight quickly.

I've heard that a lot of the extreme diets can cause this type of result. I did read in one of the earlier posts somewhere on this site that there was at least one (if not several) people who were having their hair fall out while they were on the Dukan diet.

Be very careful about how many calories you drop and what you cut out of your nutrition. It's easy to accidentally slash a lot of the nutrients that you actually need while you are distracted with trying to keep your calories down. Don't forget that some essential fatty acids and proteins are vital.

As long as you get water, eat a balanced diet, and exercise, you shouldn't have problems with hair loss. Avoid any diet that stops you from having that.

Hair grows in three different cycles: anagen, catagen, and telogen. About 90% of the hair on the head is in the anagen, or growth phase, which lasts anywhere from two to eight years.
