About 6 months after I started Atkins, I noticed my hair started coming out in large quantities. I went to my doctor and she did a few blood tests and found that my Biotin levels were all normal and I wasn't lacking in iron or any of the major Vitamins associated with hair growth/loss. The best she could tell me is that it had to do with my recent weight loss and there was no way I could stop it by taking any supplements/medication because my levels were all normal. The only thing I could do was wait it out and it would eventually stop and grow back. However, she also said it can take a year or two before it grows back completely.

Sure enough, about another 6 months after the hair started falling out it apruptly stopped. Roughly 2 years later my hair is almost completely back to normal. So in short, if the hair loss is weight loss related, once it starts there's not much you can do to stop it or expedite it's regrowth. All you can do it wait.
