Hair loss : how can I stop hair from falling out ?
Posted: 06-28-07 06:42am

About 3 weeks ago, I went on a diet. I started eating less and healthier. I am eating granola bars and coffee for breakfast, a salad or a grilled chicken sandwich (with wheat bread) for lunch and either grilled chicken or fish and vegetables for dinner. I am only drinking water. Well, about the same time that I started this diet, my hair on my head started falling out. It is filling up the drain in the shower in one day. I can run my fingers through my hair and have about 5 hairs on my hand every time I do it. Is it the diet that is doing this? I don't want to start eating bad again, but I also do not want to lose my hair. What can I do to stop it falling out?

It doesn’t seem likely that your diet has caused hair loss. Hair loss can be due to many conditions including lack of nutrients (vitamins and minerals) but your diet contains all the necessary nutrients. You can consult a dermatologist about your condition in order to seek a diagnosis and target the cause of hair loss.
