does protein make for faster loss??

Hey Dawn, I wasn't trying to take a shortcut in getting in my protein - my hair is just coming out so bad. It takes me about 2 hours to drink the 16 oz so do you think I'm still defeating the purpose??? I didn't know that you can only absorb 25-30 grams of protein at a time. The powder that I use only has 2 total carbs, 1 gram of sugar per serviing. I have drank the chocolate Hood stuff. It's good. I eat 3 meals a day and some snacks in between...try to make that protein too. Somebody had told me to increase my protein for the hair loss. That's why I was doing it. Let me know what you think about what I have asked in this post. Thanks for your help...I need all I can get. Donna

OH, I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE A BAD THING ... MOST OF US HAVE TRIED TO MEGA-DOSE ON PROTEIN; ALL I MEANT IS THAT IT DOESN'T WORK. SORRY IF IT SOUNDED HARSH! YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO INCREASE YOUR PROTEIN FOR HAIR LOSS ... ALSO, TRY 2 TO 3 TIMES A NORMAL DOSAGE OF BIOTIN ... IT WILL TAKE A WHILE (COUPLE OF MONTHS), BUT IT DOES HELP YOUR SKIN, NAILS & HAIR. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT YOUR NAILS WILL GET REALLY STRONG. CUT THE DOSAGE BACK WHEN YOU SEE IMPROVEMENT, UNLESS CUTTING THE DOSAGE THEN HAS YOUR HAIR FALLING OUT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TOLD ZINC ALSO HELPS THE HAIR LOSS, BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED IT PERSONALLY. AS FOR THE AMOUNT OF PROTEIN ... NOW,THIS IS JUST MY OPINION; IF ANYONE HAS BETTER INFORMATION, PLEASE JUMP IN HERE. I'D STILL STICK WITH 25-30 GRAMS OF PROTEIN EVEN THOUGH IT TAKES YOU 2 HOURS TO DRINK IT. YOU'LL GET THAT DOWN QUICKER & QUICKER, SO KEEP YOUR DOSE AT THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL EVEN NOW. SINCE WE SHOULD BE EATING/DRINKING PROTEIN 4 - 6 TIMES A DAY, YOU'D BE SNACKING EVERY 2 - 4 HOURS NORMALLY ANYWAY SO IT TAKING 2 HOURS TO DRINK THE ENTIRE THING NOW IS SOMEWHAT WITHIN THE NORMAL LIMITS, IT WOULD SEEM. AS FOR THE CARBS/SUGAR CONTENT OF YOUR PROTEIN POWDER ... WOW, THOSE GRAMS ARE FANTASTIC; REALLY LOW! I DON'T THINK YOU CAN FIND ANY BETTER! GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk
