My husband has lost a lot of weight in the last year and we wonder why?

23-year-old woman4 years ago

He has no problems whatsoever, no diet, no extreme sports. He has reduced his work hours from 90 hours a week to 60 hours a week, his diet remains the same, career change ... he says he is not stressed but I worry about him.

Good evening ma'am,

When the weight loss is more than 10% of the starting weight and no reason can be found to explain the loss, it is usually recommended to consult a doctor.
