Should I be worried that I lost seven pounds in less than a week?!
Question: Should I be worried that I lost seven pounds in less than a week.?
I've confirmed it with two different scales. I did stop eating so much fast food, but that just seems excessive. Should I be worried.? If it keeps up (losing more than 3-4 pounds a week), at what point should I see a doctor about it.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Well, if you did confirm your weight on two different reliable scientific scales, here's what i think:
Yup fastfood can give you a lot of excess calories and fat, and congratulations that you can avoid them! Just remember ITS A NO NO to stop eating entirely! Switching to healthier foods and lessening the portions and not starving is the key...
Ideally you shouldnt lose more than 1-2 lbs per week, but regarding the 3-4 pounds you lost, we can attribute them to losing also body water, which from what I know are lost in the first week... especially if you're also starting a regular exercise routine.
If next week if your gonna lose that much, I suggest see a doctor about it, or as soon as you experience symptoms -- lightheaded, dizzy, nauseated, chest pains, etc. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

It is most likely water weight. And also if u r not eating enough protein u could be losing muscle. Eat whole grains, lean protein and lots of fruit and vegetables. DO NOT go low carb. It is just a fad and wont do u any good. If u r intentionally trying to lose weight take a multi vitamin and mineral supplement and try to take a fish oil or flax seed oil ( omega 3 fatty acids) supplement too. Drink plenty of water.Health Question & Answer
If you were thin already, yes. Could be a tapeworm or something...
But if you are overweight or were previously then no; not to put too fine a point on it, fat people have faster metabolisms as a natural defence against becoming obese.Health Question & Answer
