[QUOTE="RosieMaxwell, post: 2300613, member: 520572"] Hi all, in a previous post I mentioned that I’ve been experiencing some hair loss as I’ve got into my keto diet. I’ve lost a fair bit of weight and I put it down to that but I had bloods done to check for deficiencies. Most of the numbers came up pretty normal - except for Vitamin D and Zinc. (I will of course pick up supplements for that, but do either of those cause hair loss?) Sidebar: Doc was pretty unhelpful to be honest. He was trying to squeeze me into a PCOH diagnosis. Him: “I see you have had acne problems?” Me: “No, not at all... ” Him: “It’s on your file - 2004?” I mean that’s 16 years ago! I was 19! How is that in any way relevant now? However, reading around a bit I can see that it’s reasonably common for people to lose hair after weight loss or after going on keto. Just wondering if anyone on here can attest to that? And maybe share if/when the hair ever became normal again? [/QUOTE]
