    Default Balding after diet change and weight loss.

    So i changed my diet went to the gym lost about 45 pounds over the span of a year nothing crazy about a pound or 2 a week. But now my hair is rapidly receding. I'm even getting bald spots on my sideburns, is this normal? And I can see hair miniaturization past the the receding temples. Its worse daily, i can see a spot getting bigger or a new line of miniaturization forming again past my receding hairline. In a year I went from a nw1-3. Any help is appreciated.

    There is a big difference between 1-2 pounds a week, and 45 in a year (which is LESS than a pounds a week). That being said, over a course of a year, that is not significant.

    Receding can be MPB. Bald spots in your sideburns... the signs of something else. You didn't say how old you are. Have you been to a doctor to get some blood work done?

    33 is not too young to start losing your hair. I would get hormones checked, for sure.

    A typical bodybuilding diet more healthy stuff less crap. I eat alot of more vegetables fruits, yogurt probiotic kind, lowdat diary, nuts (almonds,peanuts, pitaschios), beef jerky, lean meats, healthy seafood (tuna, salmon, shrimp). I mean sometimes ill cheat and eat some pizza or a burger but not very often. So higher protein, moderate carbohydrate diet and lower fat. I also took up drinking coffee but only like at worst 3-4 cups a day I usually just have a coffee before I goto the gym. I read that my balding could be retrograde alopecia or something since i have thinning on my sideburns, not sure entirely. Maybe my losing weight slowly is speeding it up since my body is in a catabolic state. Im trying to find a picture of someone with something similar to my balding but haven't found it yet, The miniaturization of hair past the receding and my right side seems to be alot worse then my left but that also seems to happen to alot of guys. My hair is flying off my head fast, I notice my hair has new spot or grown bigger overnight. I was norwood 1 at worst before the sped up happened and the only thing i really changed was my diet and going to the gym.

    Hey! Balding may be due to stress and change of food habits that means lack of proteins most probably, especially for men. As a women, I can suggest you to eat protein foods and use simple medicines for immediate weight loss as I did earlier. For weight loss, I usually recommends you to take Provigil 200mg, weekly once is enough. I don't tell you to use more medicines first because you need to adjust slowly so take it wisely.

    Coming to hair loss, there are some medicines available online, you can check it out. For hair loss, you may try some home tips by yourself like drinking more coconut water, drinking water, regular head baths, use shampoos paraben free, try soap nuts once in a month, don't eat foods that produce more body heat, try to be stress free.

    Use medicines and do all these things may be helpful to you for sure! Will send you more tips just comment below. Thanks!
