What are the risks of rapid weight loss?

Question

I've always heard that losing weight too quickly is bad for you. How quickly is too quickly? And what are the potential consequences?

Answer 1

Most folks don't keep it off, often you are not getting the nutrients you need plus your body goes into starvation mode making even tougher to take off the pounds,

Answer 2

A healthy weight loss with lower calorie intake and exercises makes you lose about 2 pounds a week. There are advertisements out there, that promise you, to lose 10 pounds or more in one week. If you are heavily overweight, you may be able to lose that amount, since it is basically water stored in your fat cells.
But any quick weight loss you will gain back as fast as you lost it.
The consequences? Your Metabolism really gets all messed up and losing weight becomes after each one sited diet more difficult. Besides, you are not getting the vitamin and minerals for a proper functioning of your body.
