So when someone gets thinner without trying, most of us would feel a twinge of jealousy while congratulating our friend on their fantastic weight loss.

BUT losing weight for no apparent reason is not necessarily something to celebrate. The weight loss may be a sign of an underlying health issue. While this is not DEFINITELY the case (they could be going through some major stress, they may be in love, or they may just be really lucky!), here are some things that could be the cause of unexplained weight loss.

The first thing to consider is how substantial was the weight loss? More than 5% of overall body weight in 3 to 6 months. Thats more than 2,5kg from a 50kg body, or 4kg from an 80kg body, or 6kg from a 120kg body. If you lose 0,2kg this week without dieting, its likely a loss of water. Over a more substantial period, weight loss can be a symptom of something more serious.
