Australia-based fitness influencer Carla Visentin achieved a remarkable weight loss of 40 kg throughout her journey. In a recent post, she shared the unusual side effects she experienced following her significant transformation, which are quite astonishing. While it is commonly understood that individuals may feel colder after shedding pounds, the side effects Carla described extended beyond mere changes in body temperature. She also noted alterations in her alcohol tolerance, variations in the pitch of her voice, among other effects.

The weird side effects of losing weight

Carla named her post, in which she discussed the side effects of her weight loss, ‘The Unusual Side Effects of Losing 40 kg (88 lbs)’. Please see the details below:

1. Change in the voice pitch

Carla noted in her post that her vocal pitch had altered. The Melbourne-based fitness influencer explained that her voice, which was previously deeper, became higher and clearer following her weight loss. She remarked, “This is something that can occur, although it does not happen to everyone.”

2. Feeling cold more

Carla articulated the significant shift in her weather preferences, stating, “I have become more sensitive to the cold. In the past, when I carried more weight, I enjoyed winter; however, it now feels excessively cold, necessitating multiple layers for warmth. Conversely, I previously disliked summer, but I have come to appreciate it.”

3. Low blood pressure

Following a substantial weight loss, Carla experienced a notable decrease in her blood pressure. Previously, she regularly monitored her blood pressure at home, and it consistently registered in the high range (approximately 130s). Currently, however, her readings have improved significantly. It is important to note that this change may be an individual response, as blood pressure can vary from person to person.

4. Decreased resting heart rate

Following her weight loss, Carla observed a reduction in her resting heart rate (RHR). "Previously, my RHR was elevated, but now it ranges between the 40s and 50s. While a normal heart rate is typically between 60 and 100, it can differ among individuals," she noted. She further elaborated that regular exercise can lead to a natural decline in heart rate as the heart strengthens and becomes more efficient.

5. Change in her feet

Listing another bizarre change, Carla said that when she lost significant weight, her feet changed. “I felt like my feet got more narrower and my shoes were fitting looser,” she wrote.

6. Veins became more obvious

Sharing a picture of her leg, the fitness influencer revealed that veins were more visible on her body now. “I see the blue lines all over my body more than ever now,” she wrote.

7. No bad hangovers anymore

Sharing a random fact, the Australian fitness influencer shared that she doesn't have bad hangovers anymore. “I used to get awful hangovers when I was bigger, compared to a year after I lost the weight. I have this theory that it's because my alcohol tolerance is bad now, so I just can't drink as much as I used to. BTW, I don't drink much anymore because my body doesn't like it,” Carla explained.

8. More health anxiety

Carla shared her past struggles with mental health, which led to significant neglect of her well-being. She admitted that she previously had little regard for her own health. The substantial weight loss transformation she experienced served as a pivotal moment, prompting numerous positive changes in her health and mindset.

Currently, she is highly attuned to her body and makes every effort to prioritize her self-care; however, this heightened awareness has its drawbacks. She disclosed that she frequently finds herself overanalyzing minor sensations in her body, and any slight discomfort triggers feelings of anxiety.
