Nutrient Deficiency Due To Rapid Weight Loss

If someone does not take calories regularly, then there will be a lack of nutrients in the body. This is because by taking a low-calorie diet, the body is unable to absorb essential nutrients such as iron, folate and vitamin-B12.

Risk Of Gallstones Due To Rapid Weight Loss

It consists of hard pieces inside the gallbladder, which can cause severe pain. Gallstones can be a side effect of rapid weight loss. Actually, the gallbladder releases digestive juices to break down fatty food so that it can be digested. At the same time, when a person does not eat the right amount of food, the digestive juice does not come out of the gallbladder. Gallstones are formed when substances get deposited inside the digestive juice.

Apart from these, there can be many other disadvantages of rapid weight loss. This includes hunger, fatigue, irritability, feeling cold, muscle cramps, dizziness, constipation or diarrhea and dehydration etc.
