is there a good diet for rapid weight loss?

None, really: Not even the most recently released med for weight loss is a "magic bullet". The real secret to weight loss is healthful meals (lean protein, goods fats, low glycemic index carbs, colorful fruits & veggies, whole grains), portion control (use salad/dessert plate instead of dinner plate; no refills), & exercise to burn off calories. Support groups like weight watchers can help motivation.

Rapid weight loss: is dangerous, especially if you are not trying to loose weight.  Please see your doctor to help guide you if your goal is to reduce and if this is spontaneous he/she will also figure out what is happening.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

would rapid weight loss cause low estrogen?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Some dietary alterations, particularly those with low fat and high fiber have been shown to lower estrogen levels, but for your own sake would strongly suggest you see and follow the findings of exams by your gynecologist, and if not satisfied, request referral to a gynecologic endocrinologist.  Your questions suggest that you are trying to manage your own conditions. Not a good idea.

Unknown cause: I am not aware of the reason rapid weight loss can cause gallstones. This had been identified in the past with rapid weight loss and liquid diets, and can currently be seen in those who have had rapid weight loss after gastric bypass surgery.

Question 8

what could cause rapid weight loss and trouble sleeping?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Multiple possibilities:  including hyperthyroidism and also drug abuse involving stimulants like methamphetamine.  Sometimes opiates like heroin if the person is not getting a steady supply.  Also severe agitated depression, and some anxiety disorders. Have seen some psychoses be like this also -- schizophrenia & mania. The person may not feel eating is necessary, or hyperactivity is extreme.

Question 9

what apps are good for rapid weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Several are good: First a caution, rapid weight loss is not as sucessful long term as steady weight loss. So go to your app market on your smart phone and look at the free "wieght loss" apps. "calorie counter" is a good one. If you stay in the free apps, focus on diet and nutrition and avoid extremes you should find several that can suport you as you diet, decrease fast carbs, calories and exercise.

Question 10

which diet is it most convenient to follow for rapid weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: Dieting to lose weight very rapidly is not advisable as this type of weight loss comes right back again. You want slow,steady loss of fat tissue at a rate of 1 or 2 pounds a week if that. This type of weight loss is safe,healthy and is more apt to stay off. See a dietician for one visit to get proper diet instructions and you may want to take a multivitamin as,well as daily iron supplement.
