With that being said why is it that you never lose that hair from your armpits or your legs? Shaving less often would be a blessing but oh no its always the beautiful hair on your head that goes first.
LOL! I am SO with you on this one!
Missy, did the doctor happen to say how much protein is necessary to keep from losing hair?
Yes. He said the minimum amount of protein a person should be consuming is 60 grams. If you consume more than 70 grams you are getting too much and it will just be peed out. So sticking to that 60 grams is a great thing to do. My nutritionist at the hospital also said the same thing about protein. It takes a couple months (according to the nutritionist and the surgeon) to reverse the hair loss caused by the lack of appropriate amount of protein. So, trying to keep that good level of protein is very very important.
That is actually very easy to do. Every serving or ounce of protein is 7 grams of protein. So an egg is 7 grams or a 3 ounce piece of chicken is 21 grams but most serving sizes of protein are in the 4-6 oz range so that would be 28-42 grams. Make sense?
