Weight loss is a reduction of total body weight. Unintentional weight loss may indicate diabetes mellitus, nutrition changes, and fluid loss. Intentional weight loss may be in response to an effort to improve overall fitness and health and has many benefits including decreased risk for Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and osteoporosis.
