A member asked:
I lost 4kg in a month due to diet, is it normal or sign of dangerous diseases? why do some loose less in a month comparing to others with same diet

Depends on food : A rapid weight loss from a healthy diet change often is due to less water or stool retention. What is called "false fat." after one gets to a plateau , the typical loss is no more than 4 lbs of fat loss a month. If your energy improves and you lose weight around your middle you are moving towards better health.
