Stress and Unintentional Weight Loss: When to Seek Help
If you are losing weight without trying, do not assume that stress is the only explanation. Unintentional weight loss can have several causes and deserves appropriate assessment.
Arrange medical advice
The NHS advises seeing a GP if you keep losing weight without changing your diet or exercise. Seek advice promptly if you also have other symptoms.
Make a useful note
Write down the change you have noticed, when it began and any changes in appetite, routine, medicines or supplements. Take this information to your appointment.
Avoid masking the problem
Do not use weight-management products or start a restrictive diet to respond to unexplained weight changes. A supplement is not a substitute for finding the cause or for support with mental health.
