advice

Okay, I'm 13 and i'm 5'0 (yeah im small!) and i weigh about, lets see 60-70 pounds. And I'm very concerned about it. Do you think I'm TERRIBALLY under-weight, or just little low?

And also, I HATE milk, so I dont drink that.
I eat alot of meat.. probally 3 times a week.
I eat ALOT of junk foods... i'd suspect to be fat by now.
I drink alot of soda, if that helps. And water also.

Last time I had a check-up, I was 12, and I weighed about 58 pounds.
And everyone is jellous for some reason that I'm that weight.

So, can I have your advice on how to gain about 10 pounds? I'm really into your advice, I'll read it thougly, completly untill im 100% okay with it and rate it what it deserves!

Please help :)

I'm so glad that people are finally beginning to realize that there is such a thing as TOO skinny. I calculated your BMI (Body Mass Index) and heres what I found:

60 pounds: 11.7
65 pounds: 12.7
70 pounds: 13.7

Anything below 18.5 is underweight. I suggest that you go to your doctor and he can give you a specific eating plan or send you to a dietician. While you may think that eating junk food will help you gain weight, you're really not doing your body a whole lot of good. It is still empty calories and can still harm your body in other ways, and it seems that your metabolism is so fast that eating the junk food isn't going to help you gain weight. Go see your doctor, because you are very underweight, and he can put you on a plan that can help you.
