Since lowcarbing, my nails are growing at 200% of their "normal" speed.
Has anyone noticed this?

It may not even be the lowcarb but the fact that I had essentially
replaced all breads, rice, potatoes, flour, sugar products with raw, or
slightly cooked vegetables.

Broccoli, asparagus, lots of mushrooms, romaine lettuce, dandelion,
cabbage and so on. So it can't be the protein itself. Although I raised my
protein intake but I'm a believer that lowcarb is not high protein. It is
what it says. Low carb.

Anyone has similar experiences?

Best Regards,

Steve

Yes, my nails grow longer AND are stronger, too. And my hair grows
very fast - it was always fast anyway but it is much faster (and
stronger) since I began LC. In fact, there's a 'demarcation line' in
my hair showing the difference between the brittle 'low-fat' growth
and the stronger low-carb growth.

I've always assumed that once I'm took in sufficient protein,
non-essential items (like nails and hair) now had the chance to grab
protein building blocks too.

How many people on this list look at your bare feet on a regular basis?

If you have to ask, you obviously haven't got the secret link list.

Of course, TINC.

Take care,

Not sure. But I wish you had stopped staring. I feel your gaze between my
toes. It's the gaze of a brain surgeon. Yeah. That'sit!

Yeah. And the kids lose my nail scissors at twice the rate too : )
