What Dangers Come with Losing Weight Quickly?

The body is put under physical strain when losing weight quickly. Potentially dangerous possibilities include:

1. Gallstones: Gallstones affect 12% to 25% of persons who lose a significant amount of weight over several months.
2. Dehydration: Avoiding dehydration by consuming an ample amount of fluids.
3. Malnutrition: Malnutrition, typically brought on by weeks at a time when insufficient protein is consumed
4. Electrolytes Imbalance: Abnormalities in electrolytes, which can occasionally be fatal.

Consequences of losing weight quickly

Additional adverse effects of quick weight loss include:

         Headaches 
         Intolerance 
         Weary 
         Light-headedness 
         Constipation 
         Abnormalities in the menstrual cycle
