Why am I losing weight so fast? Is it normal?

[Anonymous]

Its very strange because I haven't worked out in 6 months and I have been eating a bunch of bad foods (I hit a low point) and that make me gain 20+ pounds but now im starting to notice that its gone and my pants and stuff dont fit, also there is I can't grab any of my stomach fat anymore, its like it disappeared in the past month. It normally takes forever for me to lose weight, but I've also noticed that my skin as gotten paler and my hair got darker, is this just a growth spurt or is it something else?

Could be the result of a growth spurt or if you have a history of trouble gaining weight or having a generally low BMI, it could be a mild case of hyperthyroidism. See your general practitioner or an endocrinologist to get a more definitive idea.

Growth spurt? Hmmm it could actually be that. How old are you? Anyways, on average... if you don't workout out much or a beginner, you tend to lose fat/weight faster because your body hasn't adapted yet.

At your age, I believe you are growing in height.
