If i lose half my body weight, will it change my body shape?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But it is generally not safe to this that much weight unless done very gradually and under the supervision of a healthcare professional. In general experts recommend not trying to lose more than 10% of your body weight in any given year. After losing about 10% you need to let your body plateau for a while and adapt. Otherwise you will most likely experience very rapid regain
