Hi Betty,

I'm sorry to hear of your hair problems.

Here is a link to a previous thread about hair loss that may be of some help.

However, I wonder if your eating pattern has something to do with this. Low carb during the week and cheating on the weekends sounds just plain unhealthy to me.
How about increasing your carb levels to a point where your weight stays at a healthy level and you are happy you can maintain that sort of eating.
You have reached maintenance anyway - although I can't help noticing that at 5 foot 4, you were at a healthy weight to begin with.

Why would you even consider Slimfast? I worry that you are heading for an eating disorder thinking you need to keep "dieting."

Have a look at this site on Normal Eating.

All the best to you, my dear.
