    I just remember as a teen at 16 and my PCP had it in the waiting room. And he swore by it. At 16 I was 6 foot and weighed about 150. And he said I had to much body fat. That I need to go on a diet. My mom the nurse was about to tear him a new asshole before i interrupted and asked Does a fifth of whiskey and a pack of Lucky Strikes a day count? You could hear a pin drop after I said that.

      16 years old 6ft tall 150# works out to 183cm 77kg BMI20 (lower mid normal) and I’d put you on a diet and exercise program for sure. To gain weight and muscle. Muscle mass is correlated strongly with quality of life in later years, and you’ve described a string bean. Maybe a skinny fat string bean, but still.

      They said you needed to lose weight at 150‽ I’m also 6ft but I have 100lbs on you and I still am dense enough to sink in ocean water. My build would have made your doc have a stroke.
