i just recently , got over a sickness and ive lost well ALOT of weight ,

im trying to gain it back , but its hard when you have a high metabalism .

but your body looses weight because when your sick , you dont really have

an appetite to eat anything , and you dont really move around and be active

as much as your normally would , when you arent sick .

Answer 2

You lose water in your body due to sweating and lower food intake due to lack of appetite.
