What are the risks of rapid weight loss?
Overweight people have a higher incidence of gall bladder disease. Rapid weight loss may cause the clinical appearance of previously undiagnosed gallstones, which might require surgical removal. Fortunately, ursodiol, a medication which may be prescribed, is very effective in reducing the risk of gallstones. A change in bowel habit may occur. Adding fiber laxatives usually helps. Other potential temporary side effects include sensitivity to cold, dry skin, rash, dizziness, fatigue, diarrhea, bad breath, change in menstrual patterns, and hair loss that regrows after the period of dieting.
