CAN DIETING CAUSE HAIR LOSS?
Posted by Manny Y on 6th Apr 2015
Are you on the Atkins Diet and now currently experiencing hair loss? You may not know it but the two are correlated. Going on any diet, especially after losing more than 20 pounds can really wreak havoc on hair growth.
The hardest phase in the Atkins Diet, which is the ketogenic phase is the worst for your hair. This very low carb phase will induce ketosis where the body will turn to stored glycogen thus burning fat. As Dr. Atkins puts you on a strictly low carbohydrate diet, the body then turns to fats and other sugars in your body to maintain its regular requirement needs. Because of this low carbohydrate plan, the most prevalent side effect to this is baldness. The diet plan also limits the fruits and veggies that you take, resulting to more vitamin deficiencies which further cause hair loss.
This is the reason why the Atkins Diet emphasises on adding vitamins and supplements to your daily diet. Vigorous dieting may lead you to lose out on essential nutrients and can adversely affect your regular bodily functions.
So should you scrap the Atkins Diet altogether? Well, not really. If you are keen on following this method but terrified about its possible hair loss side effects, you can do something to make sure that your hair is fed with essential nutrients even while your body is on a diet.
