I’ve been vegan for little over a month now and have experienced a loss of about 6-7 pounds, which I know is drastic in a month. I weigh 109 and am about 5’4”. Additionally, my hair seems to be be falling out more than it typically would. I have just observed this during showers and when I brush my hair.
I have been on birth control for a couple of years (which can be a cause for hairloss), but it has never affected me before. It would only make sense that my new diet is the cause.
I have been trying to take in protein through veggie burgers, vegetables, and etc. I also add nutritional yeast to my food at least every other day for vitamin b-12.
I suppose I don’t have as structured of a diet as I thought. Are there any ideas about what could be the issue, or even help in making sure I have a vitamin/ nutrient filled diet?
