Keto hair loss. Help!

Hey! I've been doing keto since the new year and have lost nearly 3.5 stone. I've been so happy with the results so far but I've recently slowed down/plateaued (also looking for any advice on how to get things moving again please!) but the past few weeks I've also noticed my hair coming out at a faster rate than my usual shedding and this morning I can really feel the difference in it when I tie it up etc. I know this can be fairly common with keto so hoping someone has the magic answer on how to stop it?! Thanks in advance!

I'm just going through keto posts and see that you've had no responses to this query. Is that normal at the moment? I got the impression last year that Keto was a pretty big thing on here, so wonder what happened?

Re the hair loss, according to posts I've read, it is something that occurs in some people in the early days, but the hair ends up coming back even better than it once was. Some people take biotin supplements, and it's suggested that they are probably under-eating, so should check macros.

I can't speak from personal experience as I have yet to feel like I've fully got my head round the whole Keto WoE.

Hello - it's been a while since you posted but I've just found your thread in desperation as my hair is coming out too - 4 months since I started Keto. Did yours stop? How long did it last? Is it ok now?!

Take hair & nail vitamins

Sounds like your body's not getting enough nutrition if it needs to shed hair.
