Lose weight fast What could happen?

When is weight loss and growth normal?

We eat food.  That food gives us energy.  We use this acquired energy in various activities of physiological and daily life.  People survive on this simple calculation.  This time our weight stays in one place if there is a balance between the energy gained through food and the energy expended through work.  Weight gain or loss occurs when there is no balance between energy intake and expenditure.  Suppose you eat more, but work less.  Then the weight will increase.  On the other hand, if you work harder and play less, you will lose weight.  This is a simple calculation.

 Meanwhile, many obese people eat less food as advised by the doctor.  In addition, he also does physical work.  As a result, the entry of energy sources into the body decreases and the cost increases.  Due to this the person loses weight.  This phenomenon is very normal.  Gradually losing weight in this process is good for the health of the obese person.

When is the problem?

Round barriers in other cases.  Suppose a person eats as much as he used to.  He used to do physical work as he used to do today.  Still, he is losing weight.  Losing more than five kg per month.  Such a condition, however, indicates a physical illness.  Usually these diseases increase the rate of metabolism in the body.  As well as increased cell loss.  The result is rapid weight loss.  So if you are suddenly losing weight, you must be careful if your clothes start to loosen unnecessarily.  Consult a doctor.

What could be the cause?

Here are the reasons behind your rapid weight loss:

Primary thyrotoxicosis: This is a disease in which a large amount of thyroid hormone is released from the thyroid gland.  Excess of thyroid hormone in the body speeds up the metabolism.  Energy loss in the body is much higher due to increased speed of metabolism.  The result is rapid weight loss.  Meanwhile, the patient's hunger is good.

Diabetes: Diabetes is one of the reasons for rapid weight loss despite adequate hunger.  In this disease the body cannot use the glucose taken through food.  Glucose is excreted in the urine.  As a result, there is a lack of energy in the body.  Also in this particular disease the proteins present in the body are broken down and excreted out of the body.  The result is rapid muscle loss.

Tuberculosis: Chronic infections such as TB or tuberculosis can cause rapid weight loss.  However, gastrointestinal tuberculosis causes more weight loss than chest TB.  Because gastrointestinal TB causes loss of appetite in the patient.  He can't eat.  Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness.

Cancer: Any type of cancer can cause rapid loss of energy in the body.  As a result, weight loss in many cases of cancer.  However, compared to all types of cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, that is, cancer of the stomach, intestines, liver, esophagus, weight loss is faster.  This is because the role of these parts of the body in the process of food digestion is much greater.  Therefore, when cancer spreads in this part, it is difficult to digest food and store energy.  And lack of adequate energy leads to rapid weight loss.

Anorexia nervosa: Some people become extra conscious about their weight before eating.  Mostly women, more specifically, women in their 20s and 40s are more susceptible to the disease.  They have the idea that if you play something, you will gain weight and look fat.  Even though they lose weight fast, these people think that they are eating according to the measure and that their weight is right.  This disease is called anorexia nervosa.  Usually such patients suffer from depression.  There may be pain all over the body as well.

Malnutrition: Many people lose weight even after eating enough.  This may be due to improper digestion of food.  This problem is more common in children.  Being very thin, not being able to eat, frequent diarrhea, etc. indicate this disease.

 Sarcopenia: Many people cannot eat due to problems like fatigue and dementia in old age.  Then lose weight fast.

Finally ignores of rapid weight loss.  Don't be afraid again.  Just consult a doctor as soon as possible.  The sooner the cause of weight loss is known, the better the treatment will be.
