    @Deoxzi good on you realizing there was / is a problem with the diet. I was in the same boat and always loose lots of weight over the summer. With muscles in the process. I rebuilt my body over winter with food and heavy lifting. Just keep on eating a balanced diet now, and maybe head to the gym to hit up some weights when you can. Things will get back to normal after a while but it will not take a week or two. More like few months. Also stop buying low fat labelled foods etc. Good luck.
    There are lots of people on this site who will want to send you to a doctor immediately but then they all overeat and struggle with their weight or must go to the gym to compensate for their diets. You have to learn to pick the people who know what they are talking about when they respond to your thread.

    Oh I'm definitely overweight and overeat smh. I know a lot about the topic, more than you know.

    You know this for a fact how, exactly?

    I completely agree with those recommending medical supervision for the OP.

    And for the record: I lost 75 lbs, reached my ideal weight and have been in maintenance for a year now. :)

    Yeah I am at my goal weight, lost 40lbs weigh 105ish at 5'4 been maintaining for 7 years....

    I will admit that I believe many on here tend get a bit carried away worrying about people's rate of weight loss but I will also say that their general concern is not without merit. This thread is proof of that. OP, if I was you, I would definitely make sure I was eating a little above maintenance. I would start lifting and would place a premium on nutrition, not just calories. I would make sure I am getting plenty of fats and protein, particularly omega 3's. I would take a good multivitamin just for good measure. Going in for check up really wouldn't be a bad idea either.

    Your hair loss is most likely a result of your unhealthy weightloss but coincidentally, I was your age when I started losing mine. My barber is now Gillette. Don't be afraid to rock the shaved head.

    I've had the same thing happen to me. I don't know the cause of your problem but I can tell you mine. I was eating all healthy foods but not getting enough calories. Couple that with age, loss of hormones and the foods I was eating were high on the acidic side. I went to the Dr and was told I had severe acid reflux. He put me on an alkaline diet, no drugs (my choice). I've been following it for 3 weeks and am almost straightened out. I make sure I eat the amount of calories suggested or at least get very close to it. Also, I find I must eat a very balanced diet. That means not following any of these diets that cut out a specific food group such as grains or fats.
