Excessive Weight Loss. Is This Normal?
Ok, so I visited my doctor in October and I was advised that I had Ovarian Cysts so I started doing tons of research and I discovered that Ovarian Cysts are stimulated by a poor diet. I started researching all of the things that I needed to change in my diet and I did it.
I lost 15 lbs in a 1.5 months (by mid December) and I've maintained my weight since then. Prior to changing my diet, I weighed 145 lbs and I now weigh 130 lbs and I'm 5'3". I never exercised and now I'm concerned that me loosing 15 lbs just by changing my diet alone is not normal! I feel healthy, but I've just never lost so much weight so quickly before and this concerns me. My body looks great. Everyone notices the change and I get a few compliments a day. But the fact that they point it out only increases my worry.
This is what I did:
I stopped eating red meat and I now only eat chicken, turkey or fish; I no longer eat whit rice (just brown rice or no rice); I eat fruits every morning; I only drink water or 100% juice; I eat a light lunch consisting of salad or soup; I take vitamins; I watch my portions; No more fried foods; No more junk or fast foods; I also cut dairy out of my diet (lactose intolerant anyway).
With this information, is it your honest opinion that one can loose 15 lbs in a month and a half just by changing to this diet with no exercise? I plan to go get a physical but while I wait for an appointment, I'd like some input to put my mind at ease!
Thank you all in advance!
Please note that my intention is not to loose weight! I gladly welcome this new body and I definitely plan on maintaining it however, loosing weight was never a goal of mine and as such, am not really interested in any weight loss programs. Thank you anyway!.

You can loose 10 pounds in one week by just drinking more water. It causes you to loose water weight. 15 pounds in 1.5 months is not excessive for just changing your diet. I would not be worried.

It is feasible to lose weight quickly but you should be realistic and take on board that if you lose weight quickly then you will inevitably put it all back on again just as quickly. The sole thing which definitely delivered for me is wu-yi tea, it can be checked out in the resource box underneath, they have a few free trials in stock, it has been featured in Reader’s Digest and CNN. I lost 30 pounds, it definitely does produce results!

you have no reason to be concerned at all…. it’s amazing how much you can lose just by eating right.
