It can be. Ideally, you should only lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, if you are dieting to lose weight. Anything significantly greater can be dangerous. If you intentionally lose weight very quickly by taking in very small numbers of calories, it is often associated with an imbalance in the nutrients you are taking in, as well as the "cannibalization" of some of your body's muscle when it goes into a starvation mode. Because your heart is a muscle, it can actually do damage to this and other organ systems, depending on how long your "diet" lasts. If it is not intentional, and you lose weight very quickly for no obvious reason, it could be a sign that there is something wrong in your body that needs immediate medical attention. Please see a doctor as soon as possible.

The best way to lose weight is to cut out the high calorie foods and snacks and replace them with fresh vegetables and lean meats and increase your activity. It can be slow and frustrating, but it will keep you healthier. Losing weight is only one of the ways you can make your quality of life better - another is paying attention to your nutrition and exercise. It's not as important what you weigh as how fit you are.

Why should someone not gain or lose weight too quickly?

If done quickly, both losing weight or gaining weight will put the body into crisis-mode and cause some degree of damage at least in the short term. Doctors and dieticians recommend losing or gaining weight gradually, allowing a whole month for every 4 to 8 pounds you want to lose or add. A cycle of diminished physical fitness will happen if you diet too quickly (too drastically). As soon as you ease up on a drastic diet, your weight will likely soon revert to its former level.See also:Eating healthily
