Having no fear of becoming the Wolfman or Bigfoot anymore, I've begun taking a vitamin for hair loss, and Three Fish Oil Capsules for mine eyes. Mine Eyes that have seen the shrinking of the JC.

Last night I stood in the vitamin aisle in Kroger with GLAZED EYES. Not GLAZED as in a donut, not GLAZED as in LUV, but GLAZED as in WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE IN ALL OF THESE EXACTLY THE SAME LOOKING BOTTLES?

    HAIR LOSS-

 

Over the last two weeks, in my continuing search for ways to add protein for minimal calories, I have tried adding the following to my diet:

    Protein shake, made with milk, 25 + protein, 250 calories

    3 pieces of String cheese, 7 protein each, 80 calories each 21/240

    And last night- the worst of all- yogurt, with a scoop of protein powder and a bit of granola 25 grams protein 150 calories. (AND IT WAS DISGUSTING!)

 

and a few other ideas- more protein pudding, oatmeal with protein and dry milk,

 

So, after 2 weeks

    I think I will be trying to add a shake when I come home from work, or take More String cheese when I am out and about. I may also do more of the SF Protein pudding, but eating something sweet, just makes me want to eat MORE SWEETS. These solutions will add 20-25 grams of protein for less than 250 extra calories. That slows my weight loss down, but maybe those extra calories will keep some extra hair in my head and off my bathroom floor. 

 

So, in the Kroger vitamin aisle last night I bought "BASIC VITAMINS FOR HAIR".

 

I never did see any vitamin labeled "PRE NATAL", so I guess there is some other secret name for those.

 

My buddy who works at a medical research firm has sent me an email about the subject,  I've read just a bit of it, as it is EXTREMELY LONG  and EXTREMELY TECHNICAL. But I will work on it.

 

Well, I read the whole thing and my head did not explode.

 

This sounds like what I'm facing.

 

    TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM

 

Diets for weight loss should be balanced, with daily caloric intake greater than 1200 kcal/day [29]. Recently, the current authors have seen a few cases of TE related to the Atkins diet, which occurred after a period of significant weight loss (>2 lb/wk). Once these factors have been addressed, observational monitoring and reassurance are usually all that is required. Regrowth is expected within 3 to 6 months after the trigger has been removed—at most, 1 year.

 

So, if the above attempt at self diagnosis is correct, once I get to GOAL WEIGHT, and then stay there for 3-6 months, possibly a year, regrowth is expected. My current diet (without the now added 250 calories) was around 1,000 to 1,200 calories. So now I will be 1,200 to 1,450. I checked the bottles and my new vitamins have calorie, so just make me an even 1,500 calories. Argh. That is 1/2 more than a month ago.

 

Well, I'm still taking more vitamins. There has to be a way to slow this down and still lose weight!

Eyes

 

I bought Omega -3 / Omega - 6 Fish Oil 1200 mg tonight. I will begin taking THREE OF THEM and see if they are of any value. My next appointment with the eye doctor is December 11th.

 

See ya ( I hope- see an EYE JOKE- haha)
