Unfortunately not every much you can do about the hair loss.  I lost  75 - 80% and tried every remedy known to man (work in corporate beauty biz). I stopped dying it and tried a silk pillow case and not brushing often or washing too often but nothing really worked.

Finally I just got some wigs and covered it all up. Now it's grown back and was healthier than ever (until I started bleaching it again that is) but it will come back, it's only temporary!

PS Ice cream is a fun source of fat!

On treatment, eat whatever feels good and dont worry if its healthy or not. You basically want to keep our strength and weight up. As to fat, it actually helps the ribavirin absorb better which is good. I ate a lot of fat on treatment.

You should actually make sure to take your Ribavirin with an adequate amount of fat. Each time you take it. It aids the absorption of the Riba and also helps with the nausea.

Eat what you desire, if it is already difficult enough to deal with food and tx. It is better to eat not so healthy, than nothing at all, they say.
