Yes, I have lost hair before; not all my hair mind you, but I have a lot of it. But I've been on the diet about 4 times, and have only had that problem once. (plus, your hair will grow back after the 42 days) The diet is perfectly safe. If you read "Pounds and Inches" by Dr. Simeons (you can find a .pdf on a google search) he explains some conditions (like diabetes and high blood pressure) and how hCG affects them. But for the normal, everyday healthy joe, it's perfectly safe. Remember, hCG is a hormone that happens naturally in the body anyway. It's only doing to you what it was made to do in the first place - the diet is just tweaking it to make it better.
