Too Skinny!

[lisadippolit]

Everyone says im to skinny, but i catn do anything about it, i eat more than all my friends, is there anyway to gain a little fat!

Not really - its your genetic makeup that dictates if you will be fat, thin, short or tall. You may have a thyroid imbalance ... this can either cause you to be overweight or underweight and if you are very worried it would be aworthwhile speaking to your doctor for advice. Hope this helps. xxx

Just an addition to what I wrote on your 'small boobs' question. Both my Mum & Dad were tall & slim & all my brothers & sisters are too. Despite eating well, I disliked being 'skinny' as a teenager, but it put me in good stead for later. After two children & a few years on...., I often get compliments on my figure! Try to be patient, it will happen. P.S. I must say that when I started HRT in 1994, I put on two stone in 18 months. I didn't like that at all either, (you just can't win), so came off that last year & have lost a stone already, without dieting of any kind.

i'm also skinny, if you're a guy i'd recommend that you start eating a lot and get some protein shakes and WORK OUT !

Scarface, If lisadippolit is a guy, no wonder she is worried about her small boobs! (only joking- she has posted another question on this issue not too far from this one)

I like skinny.I thought closer to the bone,the sweeter the meat.

Different people find different things attractive - they are probably all just jealous. If you want more definition then do certain forms of excercise, and eat lots of healthy foods. Fatty things that are bad for you are no good...what you need is shedloads of complex carbohydrates. Things like potatoes are excellent, as are breads, red meats and of course we all require plenty of fruit and veg :)
