You’re losing weight
Pay attention, if you started a new diet or an exercise program, then losing weight is completely normal. But if you’re not actively trying to lose weight, but you’re losing over five pounds effortlessly, you need to go visit a doctor.
There’s a five-pound rule that works as a safe guide, and everyone could fluctuate around that number. But if you’re progressively losing weight, it might be something bigger involved. You can lose this much weight from stress or chronic illnesses, such as digestive disorders or infections, or chronic anemia and cancer. If you’ve lost more than 10 pounds over 6 months or less, then it’s worrisome.
