I am nineteen years old and male. I gained about 20lbs from 2017-six weeks ago, so I decided to start a diet six weeks ago. Used a TDEE calculator and it came out to 1700 calories for weight loss. I also got prescribed Adderall about a week after I started the diet because of pretty substantial focusing issues I’ve had since I was a child and never addressed.
As far as my hair goes, I’ve always had ridiculously thick hair. For example, when the “flippy skater hair” sh*t was in style years and years ago, I could never get that look because my hair is too thick to move, and it would basically just form a helmet on my head.
My hair has been like that up until recently. I noticed about a year ago that, if I pulled my hair back, there were two indentations at my temples. I jokingly said to my parents that I was going bald, and the reason that was funny is because my father is nearly 50 and barely has a receded hairline and his hair is thick too. His dad’s hair is the same way. My mom’s dad didn’t go bald until he was late into his 60s, and he even then had a decent amount of hair on the top of his head. No blood related uncles. However, neither me nor my parents were aware that you don’t have to have bald people in your family to go bald.
I noticed these indentations seemed to get a little worse over time. However, sh*t seems to be getting really bad since starting the diet and Adderall. If you know anything about that medication, it is hard as f*** to eat while you’re taking it. I take it as needed 3-4 times a week, and it’s not uncommon for me not to be able to eat anything the entire day. On top of that, I don’t want to cheat on the diet I’m on, so I just stick to 1700 calories on my non Adderall days. Since getting a haircut a week after starting the Adderall (5 weeks since the haircut), my hair seems to have barely grown. My scalp is dry as f*** too and has nasty dandruff sh*t. In the past couple weeks, I notice that hair keeps coming out for awhile if I run my hand through my hair. I ran my hand through my hair after a shower and noticed four or five hairs stuck to it. I ran them through my hair again and there were three. Again and there were two. Finally there were none after one more time. What the f***!
Even the front part of my hair seems to have receded now. It looks like there isn’t much there, and it’s getting close to the point where it looks like my hair is sitting on top of my head and looks small. It’s fucked up.
Basically, is it in my best interest to get off this f*****g diet? I don’t think I’m taking in enough nutrients with the combination of barely eating anything on Adderall days (3-4 times a week) and eating 1700 on every other day. I haven’t been sleeping well lately either. Four to five hours some nights. Worried this hair I’ve lost is not going to come back now!
