I started shedding copious amounts of hair each day exactly three months after starting Atkins. I think the transition from a high carb diet to induction traumatised my body. I know those first couple of weeks after starting Atkins I felt like I was going through withdrawal. It's now three months on from the first signs of hair loss and this week it has almost slowed to a stop, which thrills me no end....it can be quite scary while it's happening. The weirdest thing for me is that at no stage did my hair look like it was thinning. I figure it must have been growing as fast as it was falling out.
