5. Weight Loss: Not Always a Reason to Celebrate
In a world obsessed with diets and fitness, unexplained weight loss might seem like a blessing to some. However, in the context of HCL, it’s far from it. This isn’t about shedding pounds due to a new diet, exercise regime, or a conscious effort. It’s about weight melting away without a clear reason.
HCL can disrupt the body’s metabolism. The disease might also lead to a decreased appetite, making individuals eat far less than they typically would. But more than just appetite, the weight loss could be a result of the body fighting off the disease, leading to a higher caloric burn.
It’s important to be in tune with your body. A few pounds here and there might not raise eyebrows, but a significant weight reduction, especially if it’s rapid and without a discernible reason, is cause for concern. (5)
