Le diet and issues

[Boyzmommy]

Hi girls

I have been on le diet for 7 weeks now. No vitamins. I usually take a lot like multi fish oils b complex etc
I have been recently losing a lot of hair. I dont shed hair usually. I m getting worried if i m not getting enough nutrients. Could this b the case?
Like every time i brush there r atleast 200 hairs

Have you recently had a baby or come off birth control pills or had Mirena out? Are you taking Clomid? Do you have thyroid problems? These are much more likely reasons.

All the above things are far more likely than LE Diet DONE PROPERLY for 7 weeks to be causing hair loss. Maybe after 6 months or so, not 7 weeks.

Now, if you're starving yourself, that could possibly make you lose some hair but that is not LE Diet. Please tell me more about what you are eating.

Ahhh i took clomid. No other birth control etc
I was on 1200 cal for 4 weeks with minimum protein or fat. Then i started eating le after i talked to u.
I was taking so many vit b4. May b i stopped them all.
No fruits at all

Some people have hair loss after taking Clomid or it may be because you had cut back too far for those 4 weeks.

Fruits are allowed on LE Diet.

My dr called today n said i should stop my thyroid med as my levels are high. I take synthyroid from last 4 yrs n my levels were normal.
May b i m preg or clomid messed my tsh
I have hypothyroid

Oh yes thyroid levels being off is one of the main causes of hair loss (if you see my first post above I even mention this.)

Thyroids are funny things and can go up and down and all around sometimes so it's not unusual for you to need different levels of meds than you ahve been taking.

My hairdresser told me it's normal for people to lose a couple hundred hairs a day so I wouldn't worry too much! Funny though, as the other day I noticed more than a normal amount coming out!

Many people start swaying and then suddenly have hair loss and attribute it to LE Diet but things like fertility meds, pregnancy, and coming off BCP/Mirena are notorious for causing hair loss and it can happen within 4-8 months of those things. Hair loss is funny because it takes a while to get going, and so many people are on LE for a week (not exaggerating, literally a week) and decide it's making their hair fall out.

Lol yeah u r right atomic. I guess clomid is causing me hair loss or thyroid is main culprit
