A member asked:
How much weight do you have to lose to have what would be called "unexplained weight loss"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More than 5-10 lbs.: Losing more than 5-10 pounds without changing your diet, increasing your exercise, and/or due to increased stress could signal a problem. It can be caused by malabsorption, thyroid disease, tapeworm, cancer, etc. Consult a physician immediately to identify the possible sources of the weight loss.
