Skinnyness

[bedake]

Yea im labeled alot as anorexic or a heroin addict, my parents constantly tell me i look unhealthy,gaunt and lots of things, oh well im happy being me.

But how come the title of this was changed by a mod? It seemed fair since there was a fatness thread for americans

Nothing wrong with being skinny. I just couldn't stand it. I was always looking at bodybuilding magazines and liked the weight room where my mom worked when I was a kid. It just took me a while to do something about it.

No, it doesn't. You need to clarify what you mean when you say this because in the context you're using it in it's a myth.

muscle does weight more than fat.

like if you turned all your fat into muscle you would weight more. is that in clarity enough for you?

prove me wrong.

The fact of the matter is that a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same, a pound. A pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat does.

There's a illustration to better describe it.

I've allways been skinny, in high school I was freakishly skinny. I tried to gain weight, tried eating more, I tried working out and eating protien shakes, but nothing I did would make me gain weight. I use to look at my wrists and just see skin and bone almost it made me sick. I had low self esteem cause I thought I was a freak because I was so skinny, but after high school I came to just accept it, I have a high metabolisim and there is nothing I can do about it! I got a belly now, but I'm still fairly skinny lol but I acept who I am, Me.

You should get tested for Celiac Disease. If you cannot do this, try a gluten free diet. I thought that I had a "high-metabolism" but it was actually malabsorbtion due to celiac. One in a hundred people have it, but the vast majority, over 97%, are undiagnosed (in the United States). It is EXTREMLY important to address this, in cases such as yours.

You werent' eating enough. Nobody's body denies the principals of thermodynamics. If you eat enough you WILL gain weight, it's a fact. If you weren't counting your calories and you didn't know your bodies bmr you would have no clue as to how much you were eating and how much you actually need to gain weight.

Exactly what I was thinking... Eat a tub of butter or 2 everyday for a week... and buy lots of spot cream while you're at it haha
