low carb and hair loss?

Hi everyone,

Since I started worrying about my blood sugar (Jan 08), I have been following a low carb diet. I have also lost 10% of my body weight putting me at an unhealthy weight of 108 pounds (I do have a small frame, but I haven't weighed 108 since junior high). In the last couple of months, my hair has been falling out like crazy!!! I'm wondering if anyone else on a low carb diet has experienced hair loss? If so, how long did it last? I've been trying to put back on the weight, but it is not easy when you stay away from chips and white bread!! I bought some of the Ensure plus to gain weight, then realized it has as much sugar as a candy bar!! Any tips on gaining weight and/or stopping hair loss would be appreciated!!! - I am going to the dr. next week to see what else might be causing me to lose my hair.
