Topic: Not eating what Im supposed to
I am in the confessional now.....
I have not been eating what I should, I know it and I am feeling so sad that I feel the need to break my own rules and slide backwards. I eat pasta, sure only a 1/4 cup at a time, but it shouldn't be on "the list". I eat candy. I eat one piece of chocolate a day....yeah, its not a bag full, but what happens if I decide, "well maybe 2 a day won't hurt"....... I eat lots of fruit, instead of protein. I have failed miserably on the protein front, no shakes ever, and lost tons of hair because of it I'm sure. I have lost almost 75 lbs, so I am technically doing fine, but if I dont change my habits I will be fat again in no time. Is anybody else out there having trouble???
Topic: RE: Hair Loss

Hi Diane,
I wasn't looking for insurance since we have medical insurance, but we don't have dental, and this company you posted offers dental insurance as well. I wanted to thank you for posting this information! You may well have saved my family's dental health! Do you know much about this insurance program?

Hi Susan!
Yep, you are right! When the scalp is manipulated it creates more blood flow to the scalp, therefore causing more healthy things to happen on top of our heads. Hair growth is better when the blood flow to the scalp is better. I'm not sure it will speed up the process much, but it will definitely help long-term. I do know it can't hurt!

Topic: RE: Hair Loss
Still losing hair at a
pace!!
I wanted to go back and upate on something that I'd said previously in this thread about hair. I had stated that I wasn't washing my hair but every 3 days or so 'cause I felt like it caused more hair to abandon ship every time I shampoo and condition.
BUT
I read an article from a dematologist (maybe in OH mag?) that said that more frequent shampoos (massaging the scalp) stimulates more growth. Just thought I'd throw that out there for all you non-washers
