I am losing around 1.5 pounds a week. Is that high? Can that cause health problems?

    No, it's advised you don't lose more than 2lbs a week, but at the start of a diet shake-up, you can lose more as your body response quickly to the change- as well as losing water weight- and then slows down the loss

    That is healthy weight loss. 1.5 is the most you want to loose weekly though. any more than that you risk weight rebound.

    Yay! Thanks everyone! I've been feeling a bit under the weather and was afraid it may be related. Probably the beginning of allergy season!
