Is it healthy to lose 50lbs in 6 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its relative: If your 300 pounds and you lose 50 in 6 months, that is good. If you have a more normal bmi and lose 50 pounds in 6 months, that may not be good. If you are trying to lose, then 50# in 6 months, is not bad (as per your bmi), but if you are not trying to lose and you lose 50#, than you need to see a dr. For an evaluation of abnormal weight loss.
