text: what should i take for hair loss while on a low fat diet?   essential fatty acids! look for a supplement with omega 3 and omega 6 along with borage oil or something similar. happens alot when people drastically reduce calories. make sure you still eat 3 meals and at least 1-2 small snacks a day. also, don't stick with any diet too long that takes certain foods out of your diet. moderation not starvation is key. hair loss may be your indication that you are not eating enough. but check with purchasing efa's anyway. any drug store, gnc, wal-mart should have them.
