hair-loss after CR ?
Fellas,
I've been restricting my caloric intake for the last 4 months. It is indeed shrinking my waistline, but that baldspot on the back of my head seems to have widened... is this to be expected ? if so, does the hairloss plateau or keep going ? any/all comments appreciated :-) |

My first thought is that you may not be getting enough protein.
to quote from a typical cite on the topic "Hair loss may occasionally be caused by lack of protein in the diet. Some people who go on crash diets that exclude protein or who have abnormal eating habits may develop protein malnutrition. When this happens, the body will help save protein by shifting growing hairs into the resting phase. Increased hair shedding can occur 2 to 3 months later." Mary G |

I have read anecdotes that suggest all diets produce some hair loss. I
subjectively see some loss or thinning in the front of my hair. When I brush it, I see a lot of hairs fall out too. This area is where my family develops male pattern baldness. I have wondered if my diet may have improved my testosterone. As to your question. I don't really know, but my guess is that hairloss around an existing bald spot would be a continuation of male pattern baldness. I think losses from male pattern baldness may be permanent. If you were a woman with a generalized mild hairloss, I would expect it to grow back. "Pouta" wrote in message ups.com... Fellas, I've been restricting my caloric intake for the last 4 months.
