I have noticed my hair is thinning, I currently eat around 1650 cals a day and I am losing slowly so I think its unlikely to be that I am eating too little if I eat any higher I am going to stop losing weight, or at the very least it will be lost at an even slower rate than now. (not that I have an issue losing slower but I think 1/4 - 1/2 lb a week is slow enough not to cause other issues such as hair loss)
I've started taking supplements and I am currently using a lotion recommended by the hairdresser to help stop hair loss .. but if it's nutritional then I doubt that it will help.
So I am looking for ideas in foods that might be rich in "stuff?!?!" that's good for hair to help stop the loss. basically I am looking to attack the issue from all angles
I am hoping against all hopes I don't have to choose between thick hair and normal weight. I seriously can't afford to lose any more hair .. :-/
Other than bouts of sciatica I have no other medical issues that I know about .. so I am making the assumption that this is mainly a nutrition problem.
any help / ideas appreciated
I had problems with my hair and nails weakening/thinning a while back. I started taking virgin coconut oil in EVERYTHING (I replaced butter/olive oil with it as a cooking agent and added it to recipes as well) as well as upped my vitamin supplements (calcium/magnesium, Vit C, D,&B). That did the trick for me! I hope you find the answer and are able to grow some more hair back!
TY - Glad it worked for you .. I have just added supplements (3 days ago) so fingers crossed it works for me as well

no I'm not vegetarian, I have meat almost every meal, I'd love to know what foods you use to boost your protein (or do you use powder?) ...
I have never really paid much attention to the macros, but this has me needing to know more ..
I have led you astray! My mind was thinking 120 grams of meat = 120 grams of protein so to me I was just arguing with myself as to how you could possibly not get enough protein. I was going to say just look at my diary so I checked it myself and I haven't been getting near enough protein lately! When I say I haven't been getting near enough it doesn't mean I haven't been getting enough, it just means I haven't hit my macros in a while.
Don't worry, you are not protein deficient, no matter how I made that sound, you get more than enough protein for your weight so that isn't causing hair thinning. I eat extra protein to help with hunger. While I'm at it I may as well give you some high protein ideas and remind myself to get back to them! Egg whites, 2 egg whites with my morning egg ( I just buy them by the carton) 14 g protein, Greek yogurt, every 10 grams has 1 gram of protein, I eat 170 grams with frozen fruit. Chicken breast 50 grams per breast. Oatmeal - Throw some in your yogurt. Broccolli.. peanuts.
I'm so sorry for the confusion I caused.... but you've made me re-evaluate my macros.8 -

That's no problem, easy mistake to make ... TY for the protein ideas .. I do need to start adding eggs and greek yog back into my diet so its a great reminder I made loads of applesauce when we took the apples off our tree a few months ago .. I'm sure those will go lovely in some greek yogurt

10 day goal: Lose 2 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 - 206.0 - Feeling slightly overwhelmed with this being the highest I've ever weighed.
10/31 - 204.2 - Didn't eat dinner last night because I was so busy working, getting ready for Halloween, grocery shopping, laundry and putting dishes away. Last thing I felt like doing was prepping a meal. Anyway, I really didn't make good decisions yesterday because it feels so overwhelming. Today will be better meal-wise. I prepped breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plan is to exercise at lunch.

10/30 - 246.2 - I am so HAPPY about this loss! I've been trying to add more exercise at night, and I think it's really going to pay off. I would love to go much further than my goal in this round and I'm going to try!
10/31 - 247.2 - I ate a little extra but I worked off some of it. I think the lack of sleep was a factor. Tonight's Halloween, so I'm really hoping I can keep my resolve and have a loss instead of a gain!

UGW Range 140 - 145
I weigh first thing in the morning when I get up. My scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Comments reflect prior day.10/20/17: Oooh, I like this thread! I've been weighing myself daily since April, keeping track in MFP Food Notes, and logging my "official" weigh-ins on Saturdays. I've been amazed at how much my weight can fluctuate from day to day, depending on eating out or processed foods, adult beverages, net calories green or red, etc. Daily weigh-ins really help me see cause and effect with high sodium days, adult beverages, too much sugar, etc. I don't get freaked out as much by a jump on the scale now, since I know what I did to cause it, and what I can do to change it. My scale measures in 1/2 # increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.Round 20
10/20: 166.0

10/25: 166.0 Back to SW this round. Net calories green 35 & 12c water.
10/26: 166.0 A little surprised....happy hour after work with 1 pint beer, "healthier" pub food & popcorn for supper. Drank 14c water. Fitbit 14,674 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 hours & 40 floors.
10/27: 165.0 Fitbit 15,929 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom) & 38 floors. 14c water. Been low on fiber lately.
10/28: 164.5 Fitbit 15,461 steps, 250+ steps 13/14, & 37 floors
10/29: 166.5 Ate way over on carbs and every bite was delicious! I don't care, it was one day.
10/30: 166.0 Very sedentary day (church, visit parents & 3 hour round trip) following high carb day, no surprise. Fitbit 3,888 steps, 250+ steps 5/14 hours & 7 floors. At least I drank 12c water.

You shouldn't need to choose between thick hair and normal weight. Are you eating a well-rounded and nutritionally sound diet? Your diary is closed so I couldn't check it out but there are a good many online sources for instance this one from the BBC: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/what-eat-healthy-hair
You may want to start by taking a multi-vitamin as you increase the nutritional content of what you are eating.4 -

If anyone wants an example of the impact of sodium and water weight, here it is! In 12 days of traveling and eating out, I put on over 10 pounds. In the 11 days I’ve been home, I dropped it back off! Back to the inexorable trudge toward being simply overweight rather than obese! And finally on to a normal BMI!
Pre-challenges starting weight = 283 BMI = 48.6

Day/Weight/Comment
10/30 254.6 -- Starting out on a normal note for a normal 10 days! The 12 pounds “retrieved” travelling during challenge 19 successfully discarded once again in challenge 20! CICO with perhaps a soupcon of exercise ...
10/31 254.8 -- Basically the same as yesterday. Note to self: great gobs of peanut butter are not to be eaten with a spoon like pudding. If you aren’t gonna measure it, don’t eat it!

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. Want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and hoping to elevate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit. Last weekend was my first time intentionally eating at maintenance and not only did my weight basically stay the same, which it should, but I didn't realize how hard it is and how hard it probably will be when I do reach maintenance mode. Let' see how this works.
Day/Weight/Comment
10/30-222.4 Weight basically the same from Friday even though I ate at maintenance this weekend.
10/31--222.6 Did not drink enough water yesterday. Finished W3D2 of C25K and stretched.

I have noticed my hair is thinning, I currently eat around 1650 cals a day and I am losing slowly so I think its unlikely to be that I am eating too little if I eat any higher I am going to stop losing weight, or at the very least it will be lost at an even slower rate than now. (not that I have an issue losing slower but I think 1/4 - 1/2 lb a week is slow enough not to cause other issues such as hair loss)
I've started taking supplements and I am currently using a lotion recommended by the hairdresser to help stop hair loss .. but if it's nutritional then I doubt that it will help.
So I am looking for ideas in foods that might be rich in "stuff?!?!" that's good for hair to help stop the loss. basically I am looking to attack the issue from all angles
I am hoping against all hopes I don't have to choose between thick hair and normal weight. I seriously can't afford to lose any more hair .. :-/
Other than bouts of sciatica I have no other medical issues that I know about .. so I am making the assumption that this is mainly a nutrition problem.
any help / ideas appreciated
You shouldn't need to choose between thick hair and normal weight. Are you eating a well-rounded and nutritionally sound diet? Your diary is closed so I couldn't check it out but there are a good many online sources for instance this one from the BBC: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/what-eat-healthy-hair
You may want to start by taking a multi-vitamin as you increase the nutritional content of what you are eating.
@HeidiCooksSupper My diary is normally only open to friends, I have just opened it thou if you would like to have a look ... any tips to push me in the right direction are appreciated
I just had a look at that link .. TY .. I don't think I am short of nutrients but I have started taking a supplement anyway. Better safe than sorry
