Congratulations! You’ve held on to a strict diet for weeks, maybe months, and you’re finally seeing results. The scale is dropping. Your body is slimming. You’re feeling healthier with more energy. Every morning when you step on the scale, you feel better and better. But one morning you look in the mirror while you’re brushing your hair, and you notice an excessive amount of hair in your brush. You run your hand through your hair, and pull out a clump of locks. What on earth is happening? Why is your hair falling out? Have no fear… the answers are here! 
Often times, diets with the quickest results are the most popular diets. For example, the Keto diet, juice cleanses, and low carb diets like Atkins. For the most part, we live in a results-right-now world, and people don’t want to, or can’t, stick to a plan that requires dedication and time. These quick result diets are not always the healthiest options, especially because each of our bodies react to them differently.
Protein, iron, and other dietary supplement deficiencies can cause health problems, extreme weight loss, and, yes, even hair loss. Sometimes the lack of these nutrients and others will cause your hair to essentially starve and fall out.
The good news is that there are multiple ways to lose weight without your diet affecting your hair!
Much like the Keto diet, the intake of proteins like red meat, chicken, pork, and fish is a great way to keep your hair, lose weight while helping your hair stay strong and, more importantly, intact.
Eggs are also high in protein, and so are healthy greens like spinach. In fact, most of the time, if it’s green, it’s good for you in terms of vegetables. Think spinach, avocado, lettuce, kale, etc. These help keep your body healthy while retaining your head of hair!
The daily recommended calorie intake is typically 2,000. The key to a successful diet is not to reduce the amount of calories you intake, but to burn more than you take in. Continue eating 2,000+ healthy calories per day, but work out hard to burn that down to, let’s say 1,200 net calories. Try to never “not eat” just to reduce your calorie intake. That’s dangerous for your health and your hair!
When you fluctuate in Body Mass Index (BMI), your body becomes stressed. This process signals your hair follicles to go into a resting phase and fall out. Don’t shock your body and you’ll keep your hair!
Diets can be difficult, but very beneficial. Learn discipline and routine, and you’ll keep your health and your hair!
