Go high carb, low fat, whole foods, plant-based VEGAN! It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. I went vegan this year and have lost 40 pounds, with minimal exercise, and eating AS MUCH as I desire bringing down my BMI from 30 to 24. I weigh less now than I did throughout high school, as an overweight teenager, even when I exercised for hours while on Junior Varsity and Varsity sports teams. I went to my annual physical earlier this month, and even my doctor was in shock.
My goal for next year is to lose 30-40 more pounds, I just need to start exercising on a regular basis. Nothing crazy, just 30-60 minutes of jogging, Ballet Beautiful, bike riding.. things like that.
I think it's amazing what I've accomplished so far, just by changing my diet, though. It's a lot easier to go vegan than it seems. I was never vegetarian, I went from being able to eat an entire box of pizza or entire tub of ice cream in one sitting to a full-fledged vegan. I now spend a lot less money on groceries, have more energy (never need caffeine, and never feel lethargic like I used to on a regular basis), have more concentration, am learning to cook, and etc. Try it for a week, that's how I started, and I felt so good that I just kept going, and it's now been 5 months! You can get every nutrient from plant foods, including protein!

The only vitamin you need to supplement is B12, and one I personally recommend is Garden of Life's B12 spray (cause I personally hate swallowing pills, and methylcobalamin is better than cyanocobalamin). You can buy it at any health foods store (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joe's, etc.), or online.

Loosing you hair is a sign that your eating disorder is harming your body. One of the first things an eating disorder does is to effect the bodies electrolytes. It is the electrolytes that keep the body in balance. When they get out of balance is when things like hair loss, skin flaking and always looking pale. If not correct the bodies other organs begin to fail . An imbalance in the electrolytes will cause damage and failure to your Heart, Kidneys and Liver and certain death if you do not get treatment quickly for your Anorexia.
Your hair loss is an early sign, their is still time to help yourself before you start to suffer damage to your vital organs. Yes these organ can be replaced if you are one of the lucky few for which a matching donor is found. You also have to be a good recipient to receive a donated organ; as an Anorexic you would not be classified as a good recipient.
Am I trying to scare you. HELL YES I am. Anorexia and other eating disorders can and do kill. A good friend lost his daughter to Anorexia. You are not only hurting yourself but everyone who loves you.
Please go to the nearest hospital Emergency Room and ask for help.

One simple solution, get help for your eating disorder or you will end up bald, or worse.

if you eat less than 800calories a day then you gain wieght from anything you eat. And If you eat nothing then you start losing hair and your skin starts to flake. So I would say eat more than 800calories a day. You could still be thin but you would look and feel alot better. And your hair wouldnt fall out.

your loosing your hair because you're not getting enough nutrition. you need to start eating better and then your hair will be healthyer.

I'm not sure you can. You need seek out help for your eating disorder not your hair loss.
