Minimizing hair loss during high restriction tips?
Trigger warning for weight loss/restriction/food intake for this whole post.
I have a high starting weight (obese BMI) and was diagnosed with EDNOS in the past. I’ve been working on my health and realized I shed some weight, so I randomly locked into restricting a lot more this past week. I guess I want to see how much I can speed it up.
I’m not counting calories but realistically I’m probably hitting 800 to 1,000 a day. I am hungry a lot but also very locked into it in a way I haven’t been before, so I’m just intentionally continuing to restrict each day. Seeing the scale move has been extremely motivating. I figure if I can keep it up for even a few months, I can get make significant progress towards my GW.
The only thing I’m worried about is losing hair. 😔 Especially with my poor self image, hair is one of the only things I feel like I have going for me. Does hair loss tend to be a struggle during high restriction? How can I help minimize it as much as possible?
