Depends: Losing weight is healthy when the type of weight lost is mainly body fat. Sometimes rapid weight loss is associated with losing water, muscle mass and even bone mass, and is unhealthy. Focus on body composition rather than pure weight loss and you will be healthier. A doctor or physical trainer can assess your body composition for you.
