Woman reveals weight programme caused hair loss
Published: 7th of April 2010
A woman has spoken about how her involvement in a dieting programme resulted in her suffering from hair loss.Kai Hibbard was part of US TV show The Biggest Loser in 2006 and revealed that watching this year's series brought back bad memories, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
She came second in the competition four years ago, but her efforts to lose weight resulted in her shedding her locks.
By the time she reached the end of the contest, she had been pushed to see a therapist to regain a more healthy attitude towards food and her tresses were thinning.
Ms Hibbard was eating less than 1,000 calories a day and was dehydrating herself before the show's weigh-ins.
It is known that getting insufficient nutrition is bad for hair, as well as for the rest of the body.
For example, it is crucial to get enough protein in order to maintain a healthy appearance.
