    Any ideas
    excess oil/itch signals excess dht activity.

    what shampoo do you use?

                The slowed metabolism caused by low carbing should be easy to offset in about 2-3 weeks by consuming 150g of carbs daily while keeping your nutrients high (otherwise it gets worse). Various fruits, cruciferous vegetables plus daily eggs and weekly liver is what i recommend. Jams, ice cream and multivitamins worked for me as well, though. I'm not sure if bad nutrient deficiencies can be corrected quickly enough, though. It depends on how much you paid attention to that while low carbing.
                That said, the shedding could be temporary if your scalp isn't particularly oily anymore.

                  All us baldies get mugged off by these types of thing....

                  like that Alpecin Caffiene shampoo, comes across as some kind of hairloss cure, they sold millions of bottles of that crap.

                  Making a mint.

                  That's what we need to do. Make something that claims it cures baldness and make a few million each.

                    Metabolism isn't slowed by a low carb diet. Caloric intake is what regulates metabolism. IGF and DHT cause sebaceous glands to be overactive. Lower your calorie intake and consumption of dairy products, and sugar if your scalp is very oily.

                        Now although you're completely right about its efficacy.

                        I must say a bottle of that does last far far longer than the regular stuff I used to use.

                          So today is the day that the product supposedly comes out according to Joe from staten island. This product is very expensive it better do something, Joe has been doing lots of marketing for them for free, which is it's own point. Let's see who can find the first online store. The race is on

                              Just because there is one piece of research hinting to a correlation doesn't mean it's automatically right.
                              Switching to a different macronutrient as your main source of calories is bound to instantly decrease CO2 production while the enzymes and gut flora adapting over months. Even when fully adapted, resting metabolic rate is measured realiably in CO2 production, which will always be inferior on a low carb regime. A perfectly adapted fat burner will have a slower metabolism than any carb burner.

                                I'm kinda glad this thread, quite clearly, is dying a slow death.
