I've always had crazy strong nails that grow super long and rarely break (to the point where people have always asked me if they're even real). But since I've started dieting and working out so much, I can't stop my nails from breaking! I want my nails back! I'm just curious if there is something missing from my diet or what?

Any ideas?

    I make sure that I eat nuts and seeds every day and I have managed to keep my hair, skin and nails healthy within the weight loss.

    Top two are:
    1. Make sure you consume plenty of vitamins A and E and Biotin. Also make sure to drink a glass of milk and eat a hard boiled egg a day. Milk and eggs are rich in zinc, which is what your nails need to be strong.
    2. Drink Plenty of Water

    Yep, biotin, and multivitamin and primrose oil are pretty much the best advice you'll get. Also, Ulta makes a nail strengthening polish if you want to get a faster fix. Supplements will take a small bit of extra time to start giving you results.
