4. Gallbladder Disease
There are many factors that play into the development of gallstones, including genetics and the after effects of pregnancy. But gallbladder disease and gallstones are known to be more common in overweight people. This condition is extremely painful and most always leads to a surgery to remove the gallbladder.
In a case of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t,” weight loss itself can also trigger gallstones. However, it is especially rapid weight loss that tends to do this. Stick to a safe rate of about a pound per week to minimize the risk.
