Loss and thinning hair

Adpalangi: I think I posted about this when i first noticed it...a thinning and loss of hair. It's very scary for me. I should of done more about it at the onset, but I really couldn't figure what was causing it, making it hard to fix. I'm on a lot of medications for depression, but I've been on them for longer than the time it noticed this with my hair. I'm stressed but no more than I've been in the last 5 years, actually see an improvement. So that leaves my diet/nutrition. On the fitness pal a couple of people thought I had some sort of eating disorder, not getting enough calories not reaching my protien goal very little fat. Among many other effects they had commented about what it could do to my hair, this was back several months ago before I had gotten below 115.

Anyone else notice such a problem, did you find out the cause, and what did you do for your hair, how long does it take to get it back to normal again.

Drs next week, this is really bothering me, as I worked real hard on my calories to get where I am, to improve my health and my appearance. And now instead of looking chunky, I have droopy loose skin, and my hair looks horrible. I was so happy and proud of myself, and now all I can think about us getting my hair back, without putting my weight back on, or even just how to get my hair back.

Anyone else?

People lose hair and develop thinning hair from weight loss, aging or both. From my vantage point, I've observed some of my mother's friends and their appalling eating habits, amongst those who are much older than me. I believe we are of a generation Adpalangi (you at 49 and me at 38), with those who are preceding us in age, who tend to overly restrict. There is an over emphasis on either being fearful about fat or ladling it on. The ones who ladle it on, tend to be morbidly obese with beautiful hair vs the restrictors ~ who are gaunt skinny, frail, with thinning lanky and overly styled hair. Most of my Mum's friends are Caucasian. Being an islander (Oceania-Pacific) however, one does notice women and men of Pacifica extraction with the straighter hair textures (Mela/Poly/Micro ~ Nesians) - suffering from thinning hair post the age of 45; For some it hits at the age of 32, which is why it is common practice for some females to adopt the British-Bob. Beyond the Bob hairstyle it's thin vs the kinky straight or kinky wavy (think Tahiti/Cook Islands/Tonga/Samoa) who carry their thick and voluminous hair well past their 80s even. You need to ask yourself Adpalangi, how much of your hair is affected by your eating plan, your weight loss or any hairstyling porous side-effects? Nature, nurture vs Bought ~ Kai Pacifica Logic

Much like achieving your ideal body, restoring your hair as close as possible to how it was, is a process. Allow the advice of previous members who'd zeroed in on your calories and lack of fats and proteins, to affect your hair health and beauty. It can't happen as quickly from whence they'd advised you to now (less than 3 weeks or thereabouts, no more than a month). "Peanut Butter Solution," [1985] from our time is fictitious, as was "The Nutty Professor," [1996] ~ Skinny in a bottle.
