The low carb high fat keto diet has become one of the most followed diets around the globe. It gives many health benefits such as weight loss, reduction of inflammation, and controlling blood sugar. But it also has a few sides effects like keto flu, fatigue, constipation and bad breath. One of the weirdest side effects you might notice after two to three months is hair loss.
Hair loss can be triggered if the keto diet is not followed properly. The other two main reasons can be stress and malnourishment while being on a keto diet.
A Keto diet can cause stress. It might trigger you to increased caffeine intake and reduce your sleep which can result in hair loss. The second reason is less intake of proteins while being on the keto diet. Even though the keto diet is a protein-rich diet, many tend to reduce the intake of proteins which indeed causes hair loss.
Hair loss while on a keto diet is not permanent it can be reversed. If you follow the keto diet properly with proper intake of proteins and a good amount of rest, you might not face this issue at all.
