I remember you asking me this previously on my log and I answered your question, but you didn't respond so I'm not sure you saw it?@Jennifer I remember in one of your earlier posts, you were concerned about your thinning hair/hair loss.
Hi @Jennifer
You didn't reply to my question yet about your thinning hair on the diet you follow? I'm happy that you experienced a lot of improvement, tbh I don't have much faith in Dr Morse, I'm familiar with his teachings. My hair definitely thinned as well when I followed a predominantly raw vegan low fat lifestyle and I can see the same pattern in many other people who follow the same. (My hair was mid thigh length and it thinned out to almost see through from mid back down.)
Hi @Rosie,
That's strange, I never received an alert. I just looked back over the thread and didn't see your question. Would you mind repeating it?
I can't really respond when it comes to the experience of those people you mention since I don't know their context, but I do know of people whose hair thinned greatly on the diet and eventually grew back healthier as they healed. They've documented their healing so I'm able to know their context such as weaknesses they had prior to following the diet, exactly what they ate and how much, herbs they were taking, amount of sleep they were getting, updated blood work etc. Would you mind sharing your experience with following a fruitarian diet/Dr. Morse's advice?
My hair only thinned while following 80/10/10 and during a brief period while Peating. Following a fruitarian diet/Dr. Morse's advice, my hair is thick like it has been the majority of my life — my digestion is also spot on when eating this way so absorption is good. When I add back cooked veggies or go too high in fat, I start to shed but not to the point I did while following 80/10/10. With 80/10/10, my hair fell out in thin clumps and oddly, turned a copper color. In fairness, I was at my sickest and lowest weight when I came to the diet, unknowingly dealing with the mold.
Another thing to note about my time following 80/10/10 — I was consuming 2+ pounds of greens a day believing I needed the extra minerals and by the end of my second year on the diet, my digestion was a mess. It was so bad I ended up getting a comprehensive stool test through Genova Diagnostics — TMI warning — I had developed chronic diarrhea. I was also exercising daily trying to "burn off the sugar" so I wouldn't get diabetes — this was a belief promoted in the 80/10/10 community, at the time. However, I don't do well with greens, certainly not 2+ pounds of them daily, and I needed to rest not exercise.
