💇‍♀️ I Have Heard Your Hair Falls Out on This Diet. Is This True?
It is completely natural to have concerns about hair health when starting a new diet. So let us address this question clearly and honestly.

🧠 Can Hair Loss Happen on a Very Low Calorie Diet?
Yes, temporary hair thinning can happen to some people during a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD), but it is uncommon and usually short term.

If it does occur, it is most likely to happen during the active weight loss phase and typically settles once you return to conventional eating. It is your body’s way of adjusting to changes in energy intake and focusing resources on essential functions.

🔁 Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle
Hair growth follows a natural cycle with three main phases:

1. Anagen (growth phase) – where hair actively grows
2. Catagen (transition phase) – a short period where growth slows
3. Telogen (resting and shedding phase) – when hair naturally falls out to make room for new growth

When your body is under stress, such as during rapid weight loss or calorie reduction, more hairs than usual can shift into the telogen phase. This is known as telogen effluvium, and it can cause noticeable shedding.

💡 The good news? This process is temporary, and normal growth usually resumes within a few months after your body adjusts or you return to regular eating.

🌿 How to Support Healthy Hair on Plan

There are simple steps you can take to nourish your hair and give it the support it needs throughout your transformation:
