0:57
straight in
0:58
what are the causes of an intention of
1:00
weight loss like i've already mentioned
1:02
it could be caused by an underlying
1:04
serious medical condition we are talking
1:06
about diabetes
1:08
inflammatory bowel disease we are
1:10
talking about stress
1:11
depression we are talking about even
1:13
certain cancers
1:15
so aside from diseases causing an
1:17
intention weight loss there are also
1:19
other causes that would lead to
1:20
unintentional weight loss
1:22
like side effects of medication like for
1:25
example
1:26
if we talk about chemotherapy remember i
1:28
did a video on
1:29
chemotherapy good nutrition during
1:31
chemotherapy chemotherapy leads to so
1:33
many side effects
1:34
okay nausea vomiting diarrhea like i
1:37
mentioned on that video
1:38
so when you have these kinds of symptoms
1:41
you're not able to
1:42
to take in your nutrients absorb them
1:44
like your body uh
1:46
should and therefore you get into weight
1:48
loss
1:49
also uh dental problems could limit your
1:52
intake
1:52
of nutrients and therefore lead to
1:54
weight loss we're also talking about
1:56
over exercising when you do exercises
1:59
too much then you need to and you're
2:00
going to lose more muscles than fat
2:02
and therefore you end up losing more uh
2:05
weight than you intended
2:06
we are also talking about eating
2:08
disorder do you have an eating disorder
2:11
eating disorders like anaeroxy and
2:13
nervosa could lead to
2:14
so so much loss of weight and giving to
2:18
serious problems like malnutrition and
2:20
therefore how will you know that you're
2:22
losing weight
2:23
the most uh very simple way to notice
2:26
that you're losing weight is that your
2:27
clothes stop to fit
2:29
like they always do okay we are talking
2:31
about
2:32
an unintentional weight loss so you did
2:34
not expect that to happen
2:36
and therefore that could indicate a
2:37
problem okay
2:39
when your clothes start to feed like
2:41
they always did they become loose
2:44
uh and so on that would indicate weight
2:46
loss
2:47
another thing would be loss of appetite
2:49
you know
2:50
fatigue general body weakness just feel
2:53
weak
2:54
that could indicate weight loss also uh
2:57
increased infections like i've said when
3:00
you lose weight
3:00
your immunity is also compromised and
3:03
when you get into malnutrition your
3:05
immunity is even more and more
3:06
compromised
3:07
and therefore you become prone to very
3:09
very many infections
3:11
that is why it's important to understand
3:13
what are the signs and symptoms that
3:15
would indicate unintentional weight loss
3:18
it's very important to note that i'm not
3:19
talking about
3:20
the weight loss that you intended you
3:22
know you can get into a weight loss
3:23
journey
3:24
yourself because you want to lose some
3:26
weight it's also part of maintaining a
3:27
healthy lifestyle like already mentioned
3:30
but when the weight loss is
3:31
unintentional
3:32
that could indicate a problem okay so
3:35
understanding the signs and symptoms
3:37
understanding the causes of
3:38
an intentional practice is very very
3:42
important so what are you going to do
3:45
this is where we get into preventing
3:47
unintentional
3:48
weight loss so preventing comes hand in
3:51
hand with what causes it
3:52
okay if you feel like your weight loss
3:55

4:03
to have targets
4:04

4:08
goals

4:12
loss goals
4:13
so that you don't end up over exercising
4:15
or denying yourself food too much to the
4:18
extent of
4:18
weight loss also if you feel like your
4:22
weight loss could be caused by
4:24
uh medications you're taking for certain
