HAIR IS SHEDDING, need protein suggestions ASAP



Recommended Posts

My hair is starting to shed on the right side and I know it's all because I abandoned drinking Protein. I am currently drinking Premier Nutrition and I HATE IT...Since I don't want my hair to continue to fall out and I know I need to drink this stuff Does anybody have any alternatives that they happen to stomach each and every day. THANKS. DESPERATE AND GOING BALD!!

Go to Diet Direct and order the blueberry Protein pancakes. Eat three of them a day and you will have 45 grams of protein . I never lost any hair. Good luck!

I had it happen briefly and it came out for all the above reasons. I will add that Iron deficiency/vitamin deficiency contributes to hair loss.

And Protein DOES play a part in Hair loss. If you notice people that are Protein deificient from eating disorders etc do have porblems with shedding hair.< /p>

Anyway I made sure I got in at least 60grams of protein per day and NOT at one time. I drink Body Fortress whey protein. I buy from Walmart. I love it. I use strawberry. It blends easily and has smooth taste versus gritty like some. I also take Biotin daily when I take my Multivitamin and Iron tab. Hair loss subsided after about 2 months. I also went proactive and cut my hair short as you can see from my pic so I wouldnt have a melt down

That happened to me also. They had me start taking a Vitamin called Biotin. You can get it in any store or drugstore in the Vitamin section. They also suggested Magnesium along with it if I didn't see any improvement. I have seen the difference and continue to take the Vitamins. Hope this helps.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
