What do doctors consider to be a dangerous weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Starvation: You have to burn off 3500 calories to lose a pound, 1-2 pounds per week is almost impossible without a very restrictive diet and enormous amounts of exercise. Dangerous weight loss would be anything that puts your body at risk, such as prolonged fasting or use of dangerous medication.
