Is a bmi of 15 dangerous?

[Anonymous]

I'm underweight but I still look kinda stocky and don't really like the way my body looks. I don't think 4kg are going to make a difference. I know a bmi of 13 is dangerous but a bmi of 16 is fine. so I'm not sure. just wondering if It's safe to be that weight. I'm not exactly anorexic or anything by the way.

I'm currently 52kg for 5ft8, want to be 45kg or so. not lower.

Yes, B. M. I.'s below 18.5 is not only underweight…

… but below 16 is severely underweight.

Just being underweight already has a list of risks & side-effects…

… and even has the same risk of death as obesity.

I cannot imagine what being severely underweight entails. I highly advise consultation with a dietitian and/or physician.

I seriously would rather have a girl over a BMI of 25 instead of at your BMI. You must be way too thin

No. None of that is fine. None of what you said is fine. I’m sure you’re in the beginnings of an eating disorder. Get help before it becomes worse. It’s a very slippery slope and you’re on your way down.

Being thin is not to be attractive. we love cury girls.

BMI is a bullshit number that means nothing

Very dangerous.

Don't claim that a BMI of 16 is fine. It is not fine. And stop saying that you are not exactly anorexic. You either are or you are not and based on this post you are and you are in need of help

it's not good to be too weak
