Does losing weight make you weaker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: If you lose weight improperly and do not consume the essential nutrients your body needs such as vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, water, and amino acids, such weight loss such as from a starvation diet can disrupt normal body function which can lead to weakness and even worse.
