Hair Loss from Weight Loss

In a recent news article from Central Florida’s Local 6 News, the relationship between hair loss and dieting was emphasized. Although I have always included weight loss as a contributing factor in hair loss, I was reminded by this article of the obesity problem that is confronting the American population and the degree to which people are willing to go to lose excess pounds. Sometimes, starvation diets are employed and are just not a subject that anyone wants to talk about (short of bulimia in a movie staff), but the problem is real and weight loss can accentuate any hair loss that may be present, if not precipitating its onset if it is not present but within the genetic cards of that person.
