  A surprisingly large group of patients had peroneal neuropathy due to weight loss, also known as "slimmer's paralysis." More than one factor might have been at play in these cases, including lack of nutrients, pressure on the nerve, or both. [cordingleyneurology.com]

  Slimmer’s paralysis is peroneal nerve entrapment in persons who undergo rapid weight loss. This leads to loss of fat in fat pad around the nerve and predisposing the nerve to external compression. [boneandspine.com]
