I have a degree in Biomedical Engineering and Psychology from Northwestern University. I finished medical school and completed my M.D. at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. I am currently in my residency for surgery- hopefully to be specializing in neurosurgery.
I want to answer questions on medical type questions. I'm a big fan of Dr. Drew Pinsky on Love Line and would like to help younger people from the mistakes I see a lot of young people do when they come into my ER.

You're probably sick of people telling you that you're already skinny, but I think that it is an interesting question that you asked.
Everyone does have a different body type, that's why a lot of the "healthy weight charts" have body types. You may be of a different body type.
Also, why do you think that you need to be skinnier? I know a lot of people who had eating disorders and they always think about stuff like that. Also remember you may have more muscle than your friend- muscle weighs more than fat. If you want to be more lean then exercise is the best way to go, but make sure you eat healthy (protein etc.) so that your body can properly change that fat into muscle. Drink plenty of water etc.
I'm sure you're a lovely person the way that you are and if you want to be healthier that's noble, but do it for yourself and do not compare youself to others. We're all different.
Any other questions- let me know.
Good luck,
Arun
