Dry Skin or Hair loss

I remember my doctor saying that if you dont get enough nutrients you may have hair loss. However, I've noticed my skin is very dry to a point where i realized it may be because of my new eatin habit.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or noticed anything different about their body besides weight loss?

or am i just paranoid :paranoid lol

For me it's dry, brittle nails. I'm taking fish oil and Vitamin E in additon to my regular vitamins, but my manicurist is still commenting on how bad they've gotten and says it must be the change in nutrition.

Dry skin and brittle nails could be a sign of hypothyroidism. I'd get your thyroxine level checked.
