Could a sudden weight change cause a loss of balance?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Dizziness: Abrupt weight loss may result in dehydration due to acute water losses. This can cause dehydration which will cause dizziness manifesting as loss of balance. When dieting, it is important to drink at least half your weight in water in ounces.
