I've been LCing since July 15, 2003. So far I've lost 30 lb and my jeans that used to be too tight are now baggy. That's the good part.

The bad part is that I *think* I'm losing my hair. I'm female, 36, always had very thick hair. For the past two weeks, I notice that I'm brushing a *lot* of hair into the sink; it looks like I'm losing 100 hairs every night. This can't be normal!

Now, I have short hair, so I don't need to brush it during the day. Maybe I'm brushing out a normal daily amount all at once every night, and have only just recently noticed it.

On the other hand, maybe the LC WOE has made me deficient in some nutrient. I feel fine, and my complexion is also fine. I'd ask my hairdresser, but I'm not due to see him for another month.

So...has anyone else experienced hair loss? Is this a downside of LCing that the books don't tell you about? Or am I just being "hair"anoid?

BTW, I live in Canada, where you need a referral from your GP to see a specialist like a dermatologist, and those referrals are hard to come by...that's why I thought I'd ask all you experienced LCers first!
