There are several things that can trigger hair loss. Thyroid, as the above poster mentioned, crash dieting, anxiety or low iron levels and sometimes heredity. Your doctor can do a blood panel to rule out several of these.

Also, insulin resistance and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is associated with hair thinning.

There are protein shakes than have low carbs..EAS-Carb AdvantEDGE, available at walmart have only 4 carbs and aren't bad.
