    I have found when I am losing a bunch of hair, I am lacking my B's and Folic. Trader Joe's has a really good one (Dr recommended) It's 100 tablets for under 10.00. Just stick one on your tongue every morning and let it dissolve. It has helped me. I first learned about it because a medication I was on was messing me all up. It's worth a try and a little extra B never hurts.

    I lose hair when I'm stressed, not at all when I'm eating less.

    That is common with VLCD for long periods of time

    add omega 3 vitimans to your diet. My doctor suggests that with weightloss you do tend to lose your hair.

    Yes, had this problem when I was severely cutting my intake. I lost 15kg in 3-4 months. After that I ate normal meals again.
    But I was a student and ignorant (or maybe just plain lazy) about nutrition. So my hair was not as thick as it was when I was 15 kilos heavier. Read an article saying extreme weightloss may contribute to hair fall.

    Second time was caused by some hair product (that made my hair look great), unfortunately hairloss was so bad that my scalp started showing through. Took me about 2 years to get it back to normal.
