HAIR LOSS OR HAIR FALL POST #15 I have High Protein diet, I am using Whey Protein, why am I losing hair? High protein diet is ultimately digested into amino acids and acidic residues which increase the acidity of the blood. It causes release of calcium from the bones back into the blood to buffer the acidity. High protein diet creates increase load on the liver and kidney to clear the nitrogenous waste. Whey protein is required only after you have achieved good body building with regular exercise, regular food and now you need a booster. Whey protein not to be relied upon from day one of body building. The days you have intense workout with weights, you need the whey protein, other days please allow your body to recuperate and rely on a balanced diet.
