No it's not unhealthy at all. When I was close to 300 pounds I could go down to a lower calorie intake and lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks easily, sometimes more. What's unhealthy is being overweight. Losing weight isn't unhealthy as long as you stay around 1500-1800 per day. Any more than that and you need to be doing intense exercise to burn it off or nothing will happen. Keep up the good work.
