A member asked:
Can you tell me is it unhealthy if a 13 year old loses 20 pounds in 4 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: If the 13 year old is obese or significantly overweight - then it could be healthy. However, if this was a normal weight child who is trying to become skinny - it may not be healthy.
