Anyone else find their hair getting thin? I used to have pretty thick hair as I lost weight it did too.

    It is usually a sign of poor nutrition or other health issues not weight loss. Are you over restricting or not eating a variety of foods?

    Hair thinning / hair loss can be a side effect of being on a VLCD but as already mentioned if you are eating to a minimum of 1200 net and a good healthy variety of foods you shouldn't be suffering from this in relation to weight loss.
    Look at your diary make sure you are eating enough and of the right things and this side effect should sort itself out.

    the better i eat the less my hair falls out.

    fruit & veg and nuts and seeds are good to ensure you're getting all your vitamins & minerals.
