Okay I started atkins a few weeks ago, and I thought friends and family would be like" good for you", instead they were all like " You will go bald". Whats with this ? Anyone else hear this?
Secondly, *any* diet change can cause temporary hair loss. And, usually, because you will be eating a nutrient dense diet on LC, your hair will grow in thicker and healthier.
To be fair, yes some of us lose hair. I just posted to the hair loss thread here... and anecdotal evidence here and elsewhere does suggest that LC and hair loss are often associated more than other diets (except perhaps starvation level calories) and hair loss.
Supplement well and give it a try. Some folks seem to have great hair on LC.
I do not have hair loss, it is quite the opposite, my hair is thicker, grows like a weed and is unruly half the time, lol. Also my nails grow like crazy.
