can your hair fall out

[Mike]

I've heard that if you don't follow a vegetarian or vegan diet right, you can actually suffer major health issues, including losing your hair. Is that true?

Your hair can thin if you're not careful to get the proper nutrients that you would typically have received from meat and other animal products. It's really important that you talk to a dietitian or professional nutritionist before going vegetarian or full-out vegan.

Um...your hair can fall out?

Seriously, the fact that you just asked that question has made me not want to become a vegetarian LOL

It can fall out but you'd need to eat really badly for a long time before that happens. To avoid it, just make sure you're getting the right nutrients. It's not hard, especially when you talk to someone who knows what they're doing.

If your hair is falling out you're not getting enough nutrients. Either talk to a dietitian if you really want to be a vegetarian or vegan, or go back to your old diet. It's not worth it to sacrifice your health when there are other ways you can lose weight.

Okay, so as long as you're eating the right stuff you should be fine. Phew, glad to know that haha!
