I'm short and not aneroxic looking (at least my face has quite a bit of fat and isn't bony!) but skinny enough for aquaintances and colleagues to make comments about my weight. Some say they envy me (which I find amusing as I prefer the curvier look), others say can you please eat more! I don't seem to be gaining weight from the high calorie drink either, maybe I should be taking it twice daily!
Hey Rubric! We are indeed in the same boat! My face is plump, but as soon as you look below the neck, the illusion is all gone! Also, I am tall, so that lessens what minimal curves I have even more!
And I have been drinking the protein shakes for 2 months now, twice daily, and no effect! None whatsoever!!(08-03-2013, 18:48)tibetan113 Wrote: Don't. Know if this will help anyone out but, when I was underweight for the longest time, it was due to my high cortisol levels. When your output is high, you will be skinny and can't gain. once my levels went down, I was able to gain. Butsince I am low. Output, I am with visceral fat. So some of may have hyperadrenia. Get your. Levels. Checked to rule it out. Cortisol panel...
It's funny you mention that, because when I did the online hormone tests on Dr. Lee and Dr. Randolf's website, I got a result of High Cortisol levels in the first and tired adrenals due to high stress in the second. That led me to think that it might be better if I got my blood tests done sooner rather than later! All this, even though my Dad is a doctor himself!
Good luck, everyone!
