Hes already been to the Dr. hes on a proper diet & works out. Hes VERY healthy & muscular for his size.
Hes about 6' & weighs 125lbs :eek:
I was googling & found a study on mice & lacking ACC2.. click here
I don't think its a well known thing amung Dr.s But since there are ao many members here, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this, or has any tips on how to put on weight if this is the issue.
Thanks :D
:) WoW why could I not have this problem.. I will gladly share my fat with him.. No I dont have any ideas for him.. Does he eat alot & or just knibble at his meals..
It all depends on what his BMI is. I know you know about that. Is him BMI unhealthy?
hes a bottomless pit! Hes tried those weight gaining products & nothing.Quote:

I'd say show him the article, but leave stuff between him and his doctor. How much protein is in his diet?
Is this one of your housemates? Has he always been this way, or is this a fairly new phenomenom with him? Are his family members the same way? Does he drink an extra lot?
I've already shown him the article. We've been chatting on msn for a couple hours about it. He found the article to be super interesting.Quote:

hes not on drugs (quit pot a long time ago, hoping that would help) & isn't a big drinker.
If the doctor says he's okay, and he's eating healthy, I wouldn't worry too much about it, frankly, just tell him the rest of the world is jealous!

If he's seriously worried, then perhaps he needs counseling!
;) Thank you & Amen to that one Karen.. I know I am jealous.. :D What I really think is this Gentleman has a Very High Rated Metabolism..

Hes already done that (not sure if it was for being super thin, but I know he was depressed) & is feeling much better, but hes still a little insecure, but I don't think hes super embarassed about it. I don't think he needs more help mentally, as he was talking freely to me about it. That article helped him in a way, so he atleast has an idea why hes so thin.Quote:

I really don't think his lack of weight bothers him a lot... I know it bothers him a little, but he seemed more bummed that he couldn't go to the mall with me.
