So whilst 5kg of weight loss might sound great to a lot of you, there is a big difference in HOW you lose 5kg and what that 5kg is actually composed of. Weight loss on the scales CAN be a bad thing, and it certainly doesn't mean you will definitely look better, or be healthier just because you've lost some kg's.
