Is this unhealthy??

Question

is it to unhealthy to have lost 8 lbs in just over a week, when you were 126 lbs previously and 5'5.5?

Answer 1

Most likely that was just water weight. You aren't going to burn that much fat in one week.

Answer 2

Not necessarily unhealthy, but the faster you lose weight, the more likely it will come back on. Unless of course you were not trying to lose the weight and you lost it anyway, then you should see your doctor because that is often a sign of a severe problem, i.e. cancer, colon problems, hormones imbalances, thyroid problems, the list continues.

Answer 3

It matters how you lost it. If you starved yourself or threw up after meals, then yes. If you exercised and ate right or just found the right diet then no.

If you keep losing 8 pounds every week then yes, that'll end up being unhealthy.

Answer 4

It depends on how you lost the weight. If it was eating a better diet and exercising, it migh tbe fine. If it was some fad diet or diet pills then yes it is unhealthy.

Answer 5

Eight pounds is too much to loose in one week
If you are dieting I have to ask why -If you are not dieting you need to see a doctor

Answer 6

It depends on why you lost it.

However, that close to your ideal body weight, it doesn't sound good.

If you lost it on purpose, you could be damaging yourself by improper nutrition. If you didn't intend to lose it, you could be ill.

Answer 7

this is about the philosophical question you answered. I am also a philosopher i have also studied it, which makes me a philosopher, you claim to have it in your blood so why no answer, i was meerly asking for opinions about peoples perceptions mainly.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
