hair started shedding at month 4 and stopped at month 9, protein and patience

Discussion Well Actually ×2

hair started shedding at month 4 and stopped at month 9, protein and patience. Making the case below, and I expect to lose some of it in the comments.

Nobody warned me about constipation and I would have liked the warning. It was not dangerous, it was just deeply unpleasant and completely unexpected.

Severe or persistent abdominal pain sits outside the pattern this board can usefully discuss. The honest answer there is that it needs someone who can examine you.

Nothing in this thread is medical advice, including this comment. I am describing a mechanism, not telling anybody what to do about their own week.

Tell me where this is wrong. That is the useful part of posting it.

Hair shedding after significant weight loss is a telogen effect that follows the rate of loss. It is not specific to these compounds and it resolves.

I would be careful here. "Everyone gets this" is not true, and it makes the people who get something unusual assume they are fine when they should be asking.

Careful with the supplement recommendation. There is no evidence for it here and the mechanism you are proposing does not hold.

nobody warns you about how much of this is timing rather than dose

I would be careful here.

This is the shape almost everybody here describes, and it is the single most reassuring thing in the thread.

sulphur burps are unpleasant and they are not dangerous

What is intake actually looking like — fibre and water especially?

That reads like advice, and none of us can give it. Describe what you did, not what somebody else should do.

The fatigue turned out to be that I was eating about a third of what I thought I was. Tracked it for a week and the mystery evaporated.

the first fortnight after a step is the worst of it, then it settles

write down when it starts and stops, the pattern is the useful part

Agreed, with the caveat that "usually settles" is not "always settles" and the exceptions should still get asked about properly.

About c/sideeffects

Side-effect experience and management, with a strong bias toward the ones that are common and boring (nausea, constipation, reflux, fatigue, sulphur burps) and a hard line on the ones that are not (severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, vision changes). This community is not a substitute for urgent care and the mods will say so bluntly.
