A member asked:
Will losing weight affect puberty in a 15 yo boy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What is the boy's body mass index (bmi)? With a high bmi, weight loss if done properly without skimping on essential nutrients from whole foods and wild salmon can be healthy. Losing weight with a normal bmi could be unhealthy and should be discouraged.
