Q: extremely skinny and healthy but big stomach

Ok, so I have this problem. I am extremely skinny everywhere. too skinny almost. Except my stomach. It has always been my problem. Even since I was little. I looked at young pictures of me and I still had this problem. I am 17 years old. pretty active, and I consume only around 1500-2000 calories daily. I learned that the average teenager is supposed to consume about 3000 calories per day. I eat healthy food and I am always being health conscious. I use to run 4 miles each day and never saw any results. i do eat a lot of pizza (around 4 pieces every 2 days) but i dont understand why it wouldnt show anywhere else. I feel like its not the problem. I always assumed I had a fast metabolism because of being so skinny. The only reason I am consuming so few calories daily is beceause I dont want my stomach to get bigger. I have looked at drnatura.com, because i thought it may be the solution. It seems to be a reputable detoxifying system. It does not involve dieting in anyway. It is strictly colon cleansing and another product i cant remember. It seems safe and effective. I dont want to spend money on this though if it is not the problem. please help me out. If you have an questions let me know. I am ready to answer anything! THANKS!

also, I have a six pack when i suck in my stomach. (which i suck in always when i am at school, home, anywhere. So much that i do it without noticing.) I didnt know if this was normally. Because of this i didnt know if it was fat, or what. I cant figure it out. thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read this!

Is it like fat or posture causing it to go out?

I would say it is a combination of several things. It could be your diet as well as your posture. It could also be related to the frequency of your visits to the bathroom. Sometimes the the foods that we eat do not stimulate the expulsion of the unwanted contents of your colon. I have the same problem. The rate of your metabolism would not help with excretion. Try increasing the fiber in your diet. Also ensure that you visit the toilet at least once a day with your full quota of water(8 glasses) for the day. Do a few abdominal exercises in your weekly activities and see how it all works out.

I have this same problem!!! I thought I was weird or something. I will be thirty-one this year and last year I was skinny, this year however, I have this gutt! When I weigh myself though I weigh within 1-5 lbs of last years weight which I found confusing that it would all be generated in this area. I will try the fiber idea I think thats great, and the crunch, sit ups and push ups. Thank you for your help in this weirdness!!!

How about doing some exercises that focus on the abs? Have you tried it? It might work.
