Ok, so I was fully aware that being on a vlcd for a long period of time might result in some hair loss, and I stupidly thought I will be fine, my hair is thick enough, no one will notice that its slightly thinner (seriously my hair was that thick I had to wear 5 hair bands to hold it up on a pony tail). Any way, my hair is dropping out rapidly, I have probably lost about 3/4 of the thickness (and down to one hair band), I know that after a while your hair gets to resting state i.e stops growing and falls out which is the stage I am at, but I am now really freaking out, it seems to be getting worse and I mean I cant even touch my hair without loosing at least 20 strands (you can imagine what its like to brush or wash cant you). I am currently re feeding to come off the diet, so in theory my hair should stop falling out as I am eating a varied diet, eating more calories (currently eating 1200), I am also taking vitamins to ensure I get my rda, but is this enough? I will moving to one sachet and the rest real food tomorrow and increasing the calorie intake again in a bid to stop the hair. Does anyone know how long it will take to come out of the resting state and stop falling out or even grow back?
Sorry if I have scared anyone there, it doesn't happen to everyone, please dont panic.
