Low Carb Diets & Hair Loss

Losing hair by the handfuls lately while on a low carb diet? If so, then that low carb diet may indeed be the culprit.

Because low carb diets are not based on the official food pyramid, they are considered fad diets.  And many fad diets deliver ill health effects that may be short-term, or which may damage an individual's health throughout their life span.

Of course, too many extra pounds can produce the same ill risks.

Keeping these facts in mind, the dieter must approach weight loss sensibly, not only keeping their focus on what the weight scales read, but also on the effect that their new diet plan is having on their body.  Such as hair loss.

Hair Loss, Low Carb Diets

If you are experiencing hair loss while cutting carbs your hair loss is probably to blame.  However, be certain to check in with your physician to rule out more serious health conditions.

Will your hair grow back?  Time will tell.

Losing one's locks is a very personal thing, a very embarrassing and frustrating experience.  I know because I did just that with my wild and crazy diet about a decade ago.  Unfortunately, my hair has never been the same.

In Summary:  If you are on a low carb diet and experiencing hair loss, discard the low carb diet for a healthy daily diet built on the official food pyramid.  And be sure to check with your physician to ensure that your hair loss isn't related to more serious health matters.
