Why is it considered unhealthy to lose more that 2-3 pounds a week?

...if you're not purposely dieting or in love and losing weight, I'd go see a doctor.

I believe its only unhealthy if you don't need to lose alot of weight. Heavier people can afford to drop 2-3 lbs a week, where as thinner people can't because those 2-3 lbs count as a larger percentage of their total weight.

generally speaking that is an ok weight it is pushing it though without some kind of help such as surgery or a pill. i would try not to lose over that the old fashion way.
