Why It Matters:
Gallstones can lead to long-term health complications. Avoid extreme calorie restrictions to keep your gallbladder—and your overall health—safe.
5. Your Metabolism Slows Down
When you lose weight too fast, your body enters “starvation mode,” where it conserves energy and slows your metabolism. This means that after the initial weight loss, you’re likely to regain the pounds quickly—sometimes even more than you originally lost.
Why It Matters:
A slower metabolism makes it harder to maintain weight loss over time. Gradual weight loss allows your metabolism to adjust, so it doesn’t “fight” against you.
