Just more anecdotal information, I did Atkins and was in ketosis with no hair loss. But I also had two major shoulder surgeries and lost a ton of hair about 3 months after both surgeries.

There is nothing unsafe about benign dietary ketosis. This just means that you are burning dietary or body fat for fuel instead of carbs.. this is what you WANT to do and is perfectly natural. Hair loss after surgery is often related to low levels of calories.

If your calories and protein are higher, you are likely to have less hair loss, but you'll also have slower weight loss. When you are getting minimal calories and protein to support your body, your body will let hair growth grow into a resting phase since it's not a super vital process to the body.

I've been low carb for the majority of the last 17 years, and I have very long thick curly hair that goes down to my waist.

I wonder if I have and just never noticed. now that I think about it, I had shed before
and wonder if I was losing weight at the time. My son just told me I always lost hair.
interesting that just popped in my head.

is there anyway to stop the hair loss....i knew this was a side affect of the VSG , I didnt think it would happen to me though because i've been on the adkins and lost 80lbs in the past, and had a few surgurys and never lost any hair.

The third month came around no hair loss the fourth month no hair loss, about 3 weeks into my forth month hand fulls of hair coming out in the shower and into my brush...im at 3 weeks of hair just falling out im affraid im going to be bald...

how long does this last and how do i stop it help plzzz.

You can raise your calorie levels and that will slow the hair loss, but it will also slow the weight loss. Make sure you get way more than 70 grams or minimal protein per day as well.
