Diet/Caloric deficit post HT

[Medellin]

Hi!

 

I'd appreciate your opinion on going on a cut the months (losing several kg) following a hair transplant. Let's say your maintenance is 2500. Would cutting at 1800-2000 calories a day have any impact on the hair whatsoever? Obviously with the protein kept high, regular exercise and adequate vitamin intake.

 

Best regards

I shouldn't think so I haven't heard of people loosing there hair through calories it's dht that affects how the hair grows but I could be wrong maybe an expert can comment on this.

this has happened to me many times. I do shed hairs in a severe caloric deficit. I have gotten under 10% bf a few times on a diet of about 1800 cals, and if your good fats are too low you can lose hairs. You must keep your intake of healthy fats up! try like 4,000- 6,000 mgs of fish oil a day. also if you are taking out calories from your diet, do it slowly. take out 100 calories a day each week. don't shock your system too much at once.
