- Muscle loss (less muscle = slower metabolism)
- Water loss (dehydration)
- Weight re-bounding (quickly lose weight, higher chance of gaining it back and then some)
- Increased potential for gallstones (some studies show)
- Possible loose skin if weight loss is excessive

Our bodies have a habit of restoring harmful substances in fat.
Thus, if one loses a lot of fat in a short period of time(e.g the idiotic diets which limit the calorie intake to a mere 1200-1600 per day and result in starvation) the substances, which have accumulated in fat, will be released into your bloodstream.
