Hi,
Thanks for using the HCM. I am happy to address your questions, weightloss can result from a decrease in body fluid, muscle mass, or fat. A decrease in body fluid can come from medications, fluid loss, lack of fluid intake, or illnesses such as diabetes. A decrease in body fat can be intentially caused by exercise and dieting, such as for obesity. The loss of weight and lack of nutrition associated with a chronic illness is referred to as cachexia. Unexplained, unintentional weight loss is often a result of illness and should be evaluated with lab tests and overall examination by your clinician. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks
