- A low weight and/or a large drop in weight over a short period of time can result in a poor immune system, delayed recovery, low energy levels and nutritional complications. Therefore if you notice a drop in clothes size, jewelry becoming loose or if you self monitor your own weight and notice a big drop please seek help from your doctor or dietitian.
10% weight loss is significant for example if you were 60kg and lost 6kg this would be classed as significant
- If you are eating and drinking very small amounts you will be at a high risk of becoming dehydrated and nutritionally compromised. For example eating one meal a day or only managing quarter to half portions of meals. If you are vomit regularly this will also result in a loss of nutrition.
