I really don't look like a 22 year old boy, I look much older. My hair is really falling since I was 13 years old. My age is 22 years and I'm suffering from acne on my face, chest and on my back.

Hi Sheree. I just recently turned 23 and have been experiencing some pretty typical male pattern hair loss for about the past year and a half, consisting of thinning around the temples and the crown, and a smaller degree of thinning basically all over.
The hairline has slightly receded, but it’s not too bad. The hairs remaining are very small and fine, but they are technically still there. The hair loss is quite obvious though, and needless to say it has been a source of a ton of stress over the last year or so.
I have a few questions for you, and I would be very grateful for any answers you can give me.
1. Should I include meat/fish with every meal (not including snacks) that I eat? Looking through your menu plan, almost every meal includes some meat or fish. Is it important to do this?
2. In your opinion, what are some healthy, commonly available brands of canned salmon, tuna, or sardines? I ask mainly because they seem to be canned in many different ways. Also, do you eat the sardines right out of the can, or do you prepare them in some way?
3. I’ve seen you reference the Paleo diet a couple times, which I think discourages beans. I’m not saying they are right, but why do you disagree with that stance?
I love your site, and I have decided to fully commit to your hair loss diet guidelines. I’ve also decided to completely give up grains and dairy, because I’m pretty sure both (especially grains) have been a source of inflammation for me for a while now.
I haven’t had any grains for the past two days, and am starting to feel the withdrawal symptoms of giving up refined sugar. It kind of sucks, but it helps me stay motivated in a weird way. Also, I’m a pretty skinny guy, so I’m hoping this diet won’t make me lose weight, but if I pay close attention to how much food I’m eating I don’t think this will be an issue.
Anyway, I’m really excited to go all the way through with this. I’m hoping that since I am still pretty young, and the hair loss so far isn’t too terrible (compared to some other men), I will be able to achieve success. I don’t even plan on having any cheat meals. I know it will be tough, but I have excellent willpower when I am passionate about something.
I plan on updating you and any other readers on my progress on a regular basis, and if I have any more questions I'll be sure to ask you.
Lastly, I just want to thank you so much for reaching out and helping so many people, and not even making them pay for it. You are clearly very knowledgeable and caring, and your success story speaks for itself. I can’t thank you enough :)

Hello, I'm of the unfortunate bunch that has been afflicted with genetic male pattern baldness. I am extremely discouraged as to the effectiveness of any safe treatment. I'd love to change my lifestyle in order to become a more healthy individual.
My question is, has anyone with male pattern baldness had positive results in regrowth that has followed the steps provided by the diet/supplement plan. I read so many things that tell me just to give up, because nothing works...
If you tell me hope is but a shade, I'll still follow a similar diet for health purposes, but maybe it will give me some peace of mind as far as hopelessly searching for an answer goes.
If you tell me it will work, I'll go 100% in and never look back. All I want is some truth, which seems to be increasingly difficult to find.
Thank you,
Boston.

Hi, Indian male here, 24 years of age. I have a problem of hair loss where I normally lose 8 to 10 strands per day. And on days when I wash my hairs, I lose close to 30 - 35 hairs.
I have been following ayurveda to cool my body as I am an active person. I do hit the gym five times a week, and my weight lifting is minimal. I do not overdo it. The ayurveda paste I consume every day per night has over 20 different herbs in it.
My diet is wheat flour chapatis (Indian flat breads), white rice, an apple a day, dates, almonds, raisins, bananas (twice a week) I eat two at a time, GREEN TEA everyday in a bottle. I carry it to gym as I work out.
I try to have pomegranate juice every now and then. I also eat raw carrots twice a week, cucumber as well whenever I find it. I have given up on sugar and chips and biscuits (no more un-natural foods)
The vegetables I consume are normally capsicum, lady's finger, carrots, onions, beans, peas, tomatoes and other common vegetables every day. I also drink curry leaf juice every other day and I do consume 2 glasses of pasteurized milk. I also eat lot of protein rich food like cow peas, chick peas, etc.
I do not have bald spots. My frontal hairs are in-tact, but on the edges, I can see thinning and my crown area is not as thick as other areas of my head
I started on this diet of no sugar for past three days, and I need to know if the combination of foods I intake are good enough for me?
Thank you for lending an ear to my problems,

I used to have really thick hair but hair went thinning/loss in just 3-4 months when I started taking a lot of protein powder in pasteurized milk and lots of eggs for my workout. Got stressed and really depressed. Will this diet reverse this kind of hair loss?
My typical diet now involves home-made bread with all sorts of nuts in the morning with blended fruit juice, sometimes boiled egg. Noon will typically be rice or noodle with boiled poultry/fish.
Dinner would also be rice or noodle with fish. I do eat a lot of veggies but they are all steamed/fried not raw. Also, I tend to eat a slice of fruit before my lunch and dinner.
Typical Chinese diet.
Before I sleep, I will make the "golden milk" consists of turmeric + organic milk (soy/wheat/rice milk) + sweet almond oil - a yoga practice
Been doing the above for about 2 months but hair still sheds.
Thanks a bunch, hope to reverse my hair loss...

Hi, I want to maintain my hairline. I am a 29 year old male and my hair is still thick but receding. I am just getting to the point of where it is becoming a problem.
If I could just maintain my hair and not even grow any back I would be very happy.
My diet is 97% processed foods. I only eat vegetables maybe once every 60 days. I mainly eat pizza, chicken, bread, chips and sometimes sweets, frozen dinners, bananas, some fruits and berries. I drink only bottled water too because the Los Angeles city water sucks. I also eat yogurt from time to time.
I have very thick hair but my hair loss is at perhaps a Norwood 2.5 on the scale. How can I save my hair line? I am willing to follow a strict diet if it will really help with MPB. Many people claim diet does not effect MPB though? Thanks
Hi, I just have a question about whether it's really possible to 'stick' to this diet. Around last year I started following the guidelines on here. I didn't follow them exactly but cut out sugar and ate a lot more of the vegetables and all that, and it did seem to help actually after a few months.
Now this year I noticed some thinning recently, and I guess I haven't been sticking to it a whole lot for a little while. So I'm thinking of doing it again, but I have a couple questions. First, a lot of the foods you suggest may be expensive to get, but also I'm just wondering how you stick to it.
Like when going out in public, to restaurants, eating with friends, family etc do you always stick to it? To me it seems pretty difficult. And I'm thinking it doesn't help much with receding since I still am. (I'm a 30 year old male) Just wondering.
Thanks a lot for the resource. It's pretty impressive that this could work, even if it's just for some thinning. It's just probably incredibly hard to stick to.

I'm just shy of turning 22 and my hair is thinning pretty bad. I didn't realize how bad my bald spot was until recently of when I saw myself in a video. It was a real blow. It made me realize how much hair I have been losing, and its beginning to reduce my self-confidence. I want this to change, I want my hair to be thick and lively as it once was.
I need help, if there are any secrets to natural hair restoration, I would love to find out. I cannot afford medications like Rogaine, especially if they're not going to be a solution in the long run.
I'm a male, 29, started thinning when I was 24. It thinned pretty bad for a year or two, then mostly stalled, leaving me with a Norwood 2ish hairline. (there's more still there but it's very tiny) and an intact "outline" but thin and diffused.
I actually don't have any slick bald spots. There's hair there, just not very much in some places. It's still made me pretty miserable though, and stalled my attempt at a Stand Up Comedy career, because I just feel so self-conscious in the stage lights, and don't want to have to be resigned to I'm ugly and balding jokes.
It seems to be MPB as my father has a similar pattern (and after thinning a little worse that me has been mostly unchanged for the last 20 years) but it started at the middle of my head and moved down almost like female pattern.
And I'd like to give this a try (I've been meaning to eat healthier anyway and I just gave up drinking anything but water for New Years) but I dunno. Some of my hair has been "Down" for nearly 6 years now. It might be too late to save it.

Hello all,
I stumbled upon this site about a month and a half a go or so and now have the knowledge and hope to reverse the onset of balding. I look back and noticed the front of my crown thinning around 2013 and it has continued since then. Yes, I am scared but have already started the diet and will work on perfecting it as soon as possible.
I do feel the fear and anguish related to the lack of hair growth. I noticed a significant loss in the past year and the fear lead me to wholeheartedly address this issue. I am grateful for finding this site! I want to get a consultation soon to get the extra support to make sure I do this diet as effectively as possible. I will keep this post short and sweet. Here are some pictures. The lighting is poor but I tried to get the best shot.
Thank you,
Karlo
