The doctor said that sudden weight loss for the body is a stress that undermines health. Due to the suddenly introduced strict dietary restriction, undercooked meals, lack of calories, vitamins, fats and nutrients, various diseases can develop, including exacerbation of gastrointestinal diseases and the appearance of gallstones.
“Sudden weight loss is stress for the body, causing the release of cortisol and a deficiency of vitamins and trace elements. All this contributes to a decrease in the protective barrier functions of our body and a deterioration of immunity. In women, weight loss can cause menstrual irregularities, especially with a severe deficiency of polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin D. A restrictive diet with little food can lead to an exacerbation of gastrointestinal diseases and the appearance of gallstones,” the endocrinologist emphasized.
